Instructions
1
In a 1-1/2 quart pitcher, combine the tomato juice, fresh lime juice, Sriracha hot sauce, fresh lemon juice, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and celery salt. Mix well and cover the pitcher. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
2
While the mixture chills, prepare the bacon garnish. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
3
Take 8 slices of bacon and thread them onto 6-inch skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning. Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and add 4 additional slices of bacon to the pan.
4
Bake the bacon in the oven until crispy, about 12-15 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and drain the crispy bacon on paper towels.
5
Finely chop the remaining 4 slices of bacon and spread the chopped bacon evenly over a small plate. Brush the rims of 8 cocktail glasses with a thin layer of light corn syrup, then dip the rims into the chopped bacon, coating them thoroughly.
6
Before serving, stir the vodka into the chilled tomato juice mixture until well combined. Divide the Bloody Mary mix evenly among the 8 prepared glasses and garnish each drink with the bacon skewers. Enhance each cocktail with additional garnishes like celery rib, cherry tomatoes, and lemon zest strips for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
