• In a large pitcher or mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients.

  Whisk everything together until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.

  Taste and adjust seasonings — add more horseradish for heat or more lemon for brightness. If you want more umami, add a splash of Worcestershire or A1.

  Cover and refrigerate the mix for at least 2 hours (overnight for the best flavor).

  Stir or shake before serving. Pour over ice and serve with your favorite garnishes.

Storage:

• Store the Bloody Mary mix in an airtight glass jar or pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to give it a good stir or shake before serving again.
