Run the lemon wedge around the rim of a 12- to 16-oz highball glass to moisten. Mix 1 tsp celery salt with 1/4 tsp coarse or smoked salt on a small plate and dip the moistened rim into the salt mixture to coat evenly. Set glass aside.

Cocktail

Combine ingredients

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add 2 oz Absolut Vodka, 4 oz tomato juice, 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice, 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp prepared horseradish, 3 dashes Tabasco sauce, 1 tsp celery salt, and 6 turns freshly ground black pepper.

Mix

Secure the shaker lid and roll (or shake very briefly, about 3–5 seconds) to combine and chill the mix without overly aerating it. Alternatively, stir gently in a mixing glass with ice for 10–15 seconds if you prefer less foam.

Assemble

Fill the rimmed highball glass with fresh ice. Strain the mixed cocktail into the prepared glass over the ice.

Garnish & Finish

Garnish

Thread the olive onto a cocktail pick (if using) and rest it on the rim. Add the celery stalk and the lemon wedge to the glass. Give the drink a final gentle stir with the celery stalk or a bar spoon to integrate the garnish flavors.

Adjust heat

Taste and, if desired, add additional Tabasco by dash to increase heat, or a pinch more celery salt to enhance savory notes. Serve immediately.
