This cocktail is at its best with simple flavours.  For best results, choose a nice thick tomato juice that needs shaking.  There is no need to add all the many sauces & condiments that go into an ordinary Bloody Mary – the Chilli Vodka adds all the spice you need barring a little salt and pepper if you wish.  

Ingredients

• 25ml Deep South Chilli Vodka
• 200ml Tomato Juice
• Slice of Lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste

To make

1. Pour Chilli Vodka into glass containing  3-4 blocks of ice
