Non-alcoholic vodka provides a similar flavor without alcohol.

Worcestershire sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium Worcestershire sauce

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

horseradish

🥗Healthier: prepared horseradish

💰Cheaper: wasabi

Wasabi offers a similar heat and flavor profile.

pickles

🥗Healthier: pickled vegetables

💰Cheaper: cucumber slices

Pickled vegetables can offer a variety of flavors and textures.

Start with a Boston shaker.

Add 1.5 to 2 ounces of vodka to the shaker.

Pour in about 3 ounces of Bloody Mary mix (V8).

Add 0.25 ounces of lemon juice.

Add a little bit of Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce to taste.

Shake the mixture to emulsify the citrus and chill the drink.

Alternatively, roll the mixture between two shakers to dilute without oxidizing.

Rim the glass with lime juice and dip it in a mixture of seasoning salt and Old Bay seasoning.

Fill the glass with ice and strain the drink into the glass.

Top with shaved ice for presentation.

Garnish with green onions, deviled eggs, red onions, and bacon.
