Argo's Bloody Mary
Editor's Note: This is the best Bloody Mary I've ever had.
Because it is the best, Deb & Steve have kept the recipe secret
until now ...

Ingredients:
- Clamato juice (or Bloody Caesar mix; can substitute, but
this is one of the "secret" ingredients)
- Worcestershire sauce
- Tabasco
- Horseradish, prepared (this is the other "secret" ingredient)
- don't scrimp on this
- Ground black pepper
- Celery seed, whole seed preferred ('cuz gives more "body"
to the drink)
- Lime juice, fresh squeezed
- Lemon juice, fresh squeezed
- Vodka (or rum or whatever is available)
Shake all ingredients together, including liquor. Don't scrimp
on ingredients. We don't measure but instead go by the look
(and taste) of it - you want a bunch of stuff floating around in
it to give it substance and visual appeal.
* * Best when it sits at least overnight in the frig. * *
(Will keep for days/week(s) in frig, and gets even better with age.)
Shake well and serve chilled over ice with a squeezed lime wedge.
Optionally, add your choice of: celery salt around rim, celery
stalk, dill pickle spear, skewered green olives, cocktail onions,
jalapeños, etc.
