D's Cajun Mary (Consider yourself VERY LUCKY!)

After much fiddling D has perfected cajun marys. This is so good. You should give it a go. It's even yummy without the vodka:

Here it is:

4 Cups Tomato Juice (From glass or plastic not a can, it'll taste funny)
1 Cup of Vodka (you can play around with that to suit your taste)
Juice of 3 limes and one lemon (or 4 limes)
2 tbs or 6 tsp (3 tsp in a tbs) of horseradish
3 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
4 tsp of Crystal Hot sauce
2 tsp of Creole Seasoning (if it is really salty omit the 1 tsp of salt)
1 tsp of salt (see above)
1 tsp of black pepper
!/4 tsp of cayenne pepper

Mix it all together and you can drink it straight away but if you let it sit for 30mins to an hour it tastes better just remember to stir it before pouring.

You can garnish with pickled green beans or okra and cocktail onions and olives. I prefer to keep it simple with a stick of celery.
