Instructions

Step 1

Start by pouring the dill pickle juice onto a shallow plate. In another shallow plate, mix together the sriracha salt, celery seed, and black pepper. Dip the rims of four glasses first into the dill pickle juice, then into the spice mix to coat them nicely. Pop the glasses into the fridge or freezer to chill while you get the drink ready.

Step 2

Pour the leftover dill pickle juice and the salt mixture into a large pitcher. Add the vegetable juice, vodka, lime juice, horseradish powder, and hot sauce. Give everything a good stir, then let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors can meld.

Step 3

While that’s chilling, thread a pickled egg, a pickled okra spear, and a dill pickle onto each bamboo skewer for a fun garnish. When you’re ready to serve, toss a couple of ice cubes, one of the loaded skewers, and a celery stalk into each rimmed glass.

Step 4

Give the Bloody Mary mix a final stir and pour it evenly into the prepared glasses. Serve right away and enjoy!

Storage Tips

If you have leftover mix, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving again to recombine the ingredients. Avoid making the drink too far in advance to keep the fresh flavors vibrant and the carbonation, if any, intact.
