The Bloody Mary’s were some of the best ever. Here is the foundation to Pat’s secret recipe. You will need to tinker with the last 5 ingredients to find your own perfect balance, but that’s part of the fun, right?

1 cup lime juice
Worcestershire Sauce
Hot Sauce
Pepper

Celery Stalks

Pour the first three ingredients into a pitcher. Add remaining ingredients to desired taste and serve with a celery stalk or two.
