Bloody Maria

Juice of 4 limes
Juice of 3 lemons
60 ounces tomato juice or V8.. (We like to use the spicy)
21 ounces vodka (for an extra kick you can infuse your vodka
with hot peppers for a few days before preparing)
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
Salt and Crushed Black Pepper to Taste
2 tablespoon prepared horseradish


This makes about 1 Gallon. Mix all ingredients, and serve with ice and garnish with celery stalks.. Enjoy..
Also good as virgin drink, minus the vodka.

Use within two days.

Eyeball Highball

Ingredients

• 14 medium radishes
• 7 pimiento-stuffed olives, halved crosswise
• 16 ounces gin or vodka
• 1 ounce vermouth

Directions

1. Trim stem and root ends of radish. Use a paring knife to scrape red skin from radish, leaving just enough to give a veiny appearance. With a small melon baller, cut a hole in radish, about 1/2 inch in diameter. Fit an olive half, cut-side facing out, into hole. Place radish in ice-cube tray. Repeat with remaining radishes. Fill tray with water; freeze.
2. Mix vodka or gin with vermouth; stir with ice. Divide eyeball ice cubes among four glasses. Strain martini; pour into glasses, and serve.
