Bloody Hell
Will change flavors as you drink it and works for those who like it hot, this is for you. Beware though, one of the ingredients is courage.
4 1/2 shots Absolut® vodka
6 shots V8® vegetable juice
8-10 dashes of Tabasco
7 - 8 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 - 3 pinches salt
2 - 3 pinches peppers
Preparation
Pour the vodka over plenty of ice cubes in a tall glass. Add the Worcestershire sauce and tobasco, and stir. Pour in the V8 juice (tomato juice has no body and does not mix well so don’t attempt to substitute it). Give one stir only. Cover the ice generously with salt and then with fresh, coursely ground black pepper ( so it sticks in your teeth and you gotta chew it).
