  4. 4

    Using a bar spoon, gently roll the drink by pouring back and forth between the glass and a mixing tin once or twice - do not shake or over-stir.

  6. 6

    Garnish with a celery stalk and a lemon wedge. Serve immediately.

From the Bartender

The key to a great Bloody Mary is the 'rolling' technique - gently pouring between vessels rather than shaking - which integrates the ingredients without over-diluting or aerating the tomato juice, keeping the texture thick and luscious.
