Method
Prep
Rim the glass
Rub the lemon wedge around the rim of a highball or pint glass. Dip the rim into coarse salt or celery salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Fill the prepared glass with ice and set nearby.
Mixing
In a cocktail shaker (or a mixing glass) add ice to fill about half full.
Pour in 2 oz Upstate vodka, 3 oz Bloody Mary mix, 1 oz tomato juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice.
Add 3 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp hot sauce, and 1 tsp prepared horseradish to add depth and heat.
Sprinkle in 0.25 tsp celery salt and add 3 grinds of freshly ground black pepper.
Shake (for a slightly frothy, well-integrated drink) vigorously for 8–10 seconds, or gently roll/stir for 10–15 seconds if you prefer less dilution and a clearer appearance.
Assemble & Garnish
Strain (or pour) the mixed cocktail into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
Give the drink a gentle stir to incorporate any rim salt and to chill the top layer.
Garnish with a celery stalk, a lemon wedge on the rim, and optionally a pickle spear or green olive on a cocktail pick.
