Pickle Bloody Mary Shots
These Pickle Bloody Mary Shots are a zesty twist on the classic cocktail — bold tomato flavor, a kick of spice, and a tangy splash of pickle juice for a fun, savory party shooter.

- Small bowl (for rimming)
Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 1 cup tomato juice

- 3 drops hot sauce or to taste
- ¼ tsp celery salt
Garnish

Notes
For extra spice, use a splash of pickle brine from spicy dill pickles or add horseradish. You can also prepare a large batch in a pitcher for parties. Chill before serving for the best flavor.
