Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
2
Evenly sprinkle the marrow bone with celery salt, kosher salt, and garlic salt. Place the bone on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the bone is nicely browned on the outside while still retaining some unrendered fat inside the marrow.
3
Carefully remove the bone from the oven. Using a small spoon or knife, scrape out the roasted marrow and finely chop it. Reserve the marrow for mixing into the drink or for garnishing.
4
If you are using the bones as a garnish, return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to further crisp the edges.
5
In a cocktail shaker, combine the chopped marrow, vodka (or aquavit), chilled tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Shake vigorously until everything is well combined.
6
Divide the cocktail mixture evenly among 4 glasses. For each glass, garnish with a roasted marrow bone, a slice of lemon, and a piece of the celery heart. Serve immediately and enjoy your savory creation!
