Fresh Tomato Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary's are definitely a staple brunch cocktail, but are the perfect treat for any time of the day. Although I love a good Bloody Mary, I can't afford to go out all of the time- college budget problems. I also prefer the taste of fresh tomatoes instead of tomato juice, so I took matters into my own hands. This recipe works with or without alcohol- it tastes great either way!

                       

Start by taking your tomatoes and cutting them up into chunks. Put them in a blender and mix until smooth. Add in your worcestershire sauce, horseradish, celery salt (or regular salt), hot sauce, and fresh lemon juice (bottled works too). You can add in some water for a smoother consistency. Alter to your specific tastes and add an ounce of vodka or gin to every 2/3 cup of your freshly made Bloody Mary mix. Garnish with a celery stalk and serve!
