Just OK. Nothing special, IMO. To make a Bloody Mary great, you don't dip the rim of the glass in water to hold the salt, you dip it in some of that fresh lemon juice. And you don't use tomato juice you use V-8. And you don't use just any vodka, you use a premium vodka that has been properly stored in the freezer awaiting the making of this cocktail. And you do not serve this over ice. You get the V-8 cold ahead of time. Ice melts and waters down the drink. And I don't care who you are, Sandra Lee or Bobby Flay, you don't risk the time and energy it takes to fish out lemon seeds. Squeeze the lemon juice into s separate bowl first. And you serve the drinks with fresh cracked black pepper layered on top. Now you know the steps to make your Bloody Mary great.
