Bloodsucking Mary’s

Makes 10 servings, 8 oz. each

Starts out sweet,  but the conclusion is fiery.

6-1/2 cups tomato juice

1-1/2 cups vodka

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 Tbsp. prepared horseradish

1 tsp. Kosher salt (optional)

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)

1 Tbsp. hot sauce or to taste

1 bottle (12 oz.) Guinness beer

Whisk ingredients in a pitcher.  Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

Gently stir in beer.  Pour over ice and garnish with celery and/or olives. 

Tip:

For a cool look, pour Kosher salt on medium plate.  Rub rim of glasses with lemon wedge and dip glasses in salt before filling with ice and beverage.
