A classic centerpiece of most American brunch menus, our aquavit Bloody Mary was the very first aquavit cocktail recipe we ever created. It proved to us that-when used instead of vodka-Batch 22 makes every drink taste better. There are lots of ingredients in this one, so we crafted the recipe to serve 4 at a time.

Instructions

• 2.5 cups tomato juice
• 1/2 cup clam juice
• 3 tbs lime juice
• 1.5 tbs prepared horseradish
• 1.5 tbs Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1.25 tsp hot sauce of choice
• 1 tsp coarse black pepper
• 1/2 cup pepperoncini juice
• 1 dash of celery bitters
• 8 oz. Batch 22 Classic Gold aquavit
• Mix all ingredients in a large glass pitcher and serve in your favorite stein. Garnish with celery stalk, pepperoncini, and a strip of bacon.
