AngosturaDirections:
1
Put the minced shallot in a small strainer and rinse under cold water
2
(This will remove some of the raw onion flavor and help the shallot retain its crunch
3
) Pat dry, then transfer to a small bowl and add the celery, radish, and salt and pepper to taste
4
Combine the vodka, tomato juice, the juice of one lemon half, the bitters, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a small pitcher and stir
5
Add salt and pepper to taste
6
Add some crushed ice to 2 chilled glasses
7
Don't overload the Bloody Marys with ice so the flavors remain intense, not diluted
8
Add a hearty spoonful of the shallot mixture, then pour in the tomato juice mixture, filling the glasses almost to the top
9
Add another spoonful of the shallot mixture
10
Top each drink with a splash of vodka, like a "floater," and a squeeze of the remaining lemon half

Serve immediately
