Made two batches of these fantastic Bloody Mary's, everyone loved them! They have just the right amount of "kick" to them. I strongly recommend! Thank you Ina.

I am not a Bloody Mary drinker and I made this for New Years Day Brunch so that I did not have to call on one of my guest to be Bartender. I was told they were great...so I am adding this is to my brunch menu for the future.

I'm a Food Network junkie and of all the shows, love Ina the best! This recipe was a great combination of spices and juices, just right for my girls' brunch.
I kid my husband and children that if I ever ran away from home, look for at Ina's house!

I've tried many Bloody Mary recipes, adapting without alcohol, but most are bland. Not this one. By substituting the vodka with 2 cups additional tomato juice, or beef broth (as one reviewer suggested, or even water -- if you like a more diluted beverage, the drink is flavorful and delicious.

If you have a high-speed blender like Vita-Mix or Blend Tec, you can dump everything in with part of the tomato juice and blend until completely smooth. Add the rest of the tomato juice and pulse blend to combine. (If you add all the tomato juice at once, the celery might not puree as well.

Next time I will reduce the kosher salt, or possibly eliminate it entirely, as the celery salt seems to be sufficient for even me, who likes things salty. I will also add 1/2 to 1 jalapeno with the celery to give it even more kick, like the canned Snap-E-Tom vegetable juices you can buy at the supermarkets.

Love your recipes, Ina!!! Thanks for all your hard work. Have your books and use them often, in addition to watching your shows.

I hate bloody marys but this mix is awesome. I loved it. Felt like I was getting a good serving a veggies. One note...I didn't add the salt called for in the recipe. Felt that it was already plenty salty. You might want to check the saltiness before adding any more.

This bloody mary recipe was so incredible and by far the best one out there. I do not like those thin, dinky bloody marys people often serve. Thick, flavorful and delicious

This is the best bloody mary I have ever had. Huge Hit! Very easy, very good, looks great too. Received rave reviews when I served this at my baby boy's christening party. Will serve many more of these in the future. Thanks for a superb recipe!
