Best Bloody Mary

You know the thing we love about the Bloody Mary? It's different everywhere you go. Gin and tonic? It's gin, it's tonic, it's a twist of lime. Whiskey sour? Unlikely you'll say to yourself "wow, this is a really good whiskey sour!" But if you want to test a bartender's chops, taste the difference between a drink slinger and a beverage artist, a poseur and a potation potentate, a liquor ladler and a libation Liberace, you need something that has enough…
