• For the bloody Mary: Wet the rim of each highball glass with a lemon wedge. Put some celery salt on a plate and crust the rim of each glass with it.
• Combine the tomato juice, vodka, horseradish, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and lemon juice in a pitcher and stir. Pour into the rimmed glasses, add one long ice cube to each and garnish with a celery stalk and lemon wedge.

• In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine the vodka, vegetable juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously and strain into the glass. Garnish with a stalk of celery and olives stuck onto a toothpick.

BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Cut the celery in large dice, including the leaves, and puree in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely minced. In a large pitcher, combine the rest of the ingredients except the vodka. With the food processor running, pour 1/4 of the tomato juice mixture into the food processor through the feed tube. Then pour the contents of the food processor into the pitcher with the remaining tomato juice mixture. Add the vodka and chill. Serve in tall glasses over ice with a stick of celery.
