Spicy bloody mary...

Tonight I was really in the mood for a Spicy Bloody Mary––virgin, of course! (It is a Wednesday night, folks!) This was a problem since we've never had Bloody Mary Mix just lying around the house. I searched the cupboards for the ingredients to whip up a makeshift concoction, adapting this recipe.

Ingredients
28 ounces good-quality tomato juice (I subbed in canned whole, peeled San Marzano tomatoes)
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (I didn't have this, but it sure would've added a nice kick!)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (I only had the bottled stuff)
1/2 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
A little less than 1 teaspoon celery salt
Ice cubes as needed

Liquefy all ingredients in a blender except for the ice cubes. Add ice cubes to a fancy glass and pour in the Spicy Bloody Mary! Ta-da!
