The Recipe, straight from Dad

Best Bloody Mary:

In a tall mixed drink glass, fill half to two-thirds with ice cubes. Add good vodka to about one-third level in the glass. Add V-8 with full sodium content (not the Low Sodium variety) to within about a half inch of the top of the glass. Add about a tablespoon of lemon (not lime) juice from either a real lemon or from a Realemon. Shake about twenty drops of McIlhenny's tabasco sauce, several shakes of salt, and about twenty twists on the pepper mill, with it set to medium fine grind.
Now shake shake shake your Mary. Add celery sprig, and don't drink more than two of these in one night.
