Bloody Mary Cocktail at home

Very unusual for those who are trying a cocktail for the first time! The Bloody Mary cocktail is not just vodka mixed with tomato juice. This is a bright cooling (because of ice) and simultaneously warming (because of vodka) cocktail, while to a certain extent spicy and maybe a little bit useful (a sprig of celery).
