Directions
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Combine the tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, olive brine, hot sauce and seasonings in a jug.
- Mix by pouring back and forth between two glasses. ⚠ Do not shake in a shaker — tomato juice froths and loses its body.
- Pour into the iced glass.
- Add olives on a pick, a celery stick and a slice of lemon.
- Adjust the salt against the brine, which already carries salt.
