You can watch the video recipe for this dish.

1 Take a tall glass and fill it halfway with ice cubes.

2 Pour in the vodka and tomato juice. By the way, Jamie prefers to use tomato juice not bought in the store, but makes it with his own hands. To do this, he buys a can of canned plum tomatoes - this is such a variety of tomatoes, and rubs them through a sieve. So Oliver gets a real tomato juice with a wonderful natural taste.

3 Cut a small wedge from a fresh lemon and squeeze the juice directly into the glass.

4 Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper.

5 Add a little less than a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, then the same amount of Tabasco. Now you need to mix everything slightly so as not to spill.

If you are using a shaker, tilt it back and forth a few times to mix the ingredients without making the drink foamy.

If you are making Bloody Mary for several people, then you can not immediately add Tabasco to the glass, put a cup with this sauce on the table and let people add it to the cocktail themselves. Some like it hot, others not so much!

6 Now we will decorate our cocktail, for this we need celery. Wash the celery well under running water, cut off its lowest root and put the whole stalk in our glass of ready-made cocktail.

7 Add a couple more ice cubes, a pinch of black pepper and a few parsley leaves.

Now, as promised, for your attention, we will provide the recipe for the Bloody Mary cocktail, which is prepared in Jamie Oliver's restaurants.

Fill a glass halfway with ice cubes, pour 50 ml of good vodka here, 100 ml tomato juice. Then add 5 drops of Worcestershire sauce, 15 ml of lemon juice. We did all this in the classic recipe. Put in a heaping teaspoon of BBQ sauce. Now mix all the ingredients and add a pinch sea salt. However, our cocktail is ready, it remains only to decorate it and diversify it with various tastes. Place a stalk of celery, a sprig of parsley, a strip of smoked bacon, and half a pickle in a glass. Optionally, you can put one olive here.
