Name: Big-Batch Bloody Marys
Total time: 2 h 10 min
Yield: 8
Ingredients: 1 quart (32 ounces) vegetable juice (such as V8); 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish; 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce; 3 tablespoons dill pickle juice; 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot Original); 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1 teaspoon celery salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 2 cups (16 ounces) vodka; Celery, green olives, fresh flat-leaf parsley, and lemon wedges

You know what&rsquo;s easier than a bloody mary bar? Preparing a big-batch mary that&rsquo;s so good, your guests don&rsquo;t have to do any DIY work. This crowd-pleasing mix starts with the toned-down tomato kick of V8, then gets a double smack of heat from zippy horseradish and hot sauce. Regular pickle juice adds a puckery sweet-and-sour touch, but we really love the extra heat from a jar of spicy pickles (Wickles is our current brand crush). Be sure to let the mix sit for a least a couple hours to let the flavors meld and mingle. Pints of the bloody mary mix paired with bottles of vodka make stellar gifts.
