01

Step

5 mins

In a 2-quart pitcher, combine tomato juice, lime juice, pickled jalapeño pepper juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, salt, black pepper, cloves, onion powder, and garlic powder. (5 minutes)

02

Step

3 mins

Stir vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sugar is fully dissolved. (3 minutes)

03

Step

2 hrs

Cover the pitcher tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For an even more intense flavor, chill overnight. (120 minutes minimum)

04

Step

5 mins

Before serving, stir well. Mix with your desired amount of vodka (or gin, for a Red Snapper) and ice. Garnish with celery stalks, olives, lime wedges, or pickled vegetables for an impressive presentation. (5 minutes)

For a spicier mix, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your tomato juice.
Freshly grated horseradish will provide a more intense flavor than the prepared variety.
Experiment with different vinegars, such as white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar, for a unique twist.
Consider adding a splash of pickle juice or olive brine for extra depth of flavor.
For a smoother texture, blend the mix briefly with an immersion blender before chilling.
