WORLD FAMOUS CHUBBY MARY

~ This popular drink from THE COVE in Leland might not suit everyone's taste but, nonetheless, 'World Famous' (recipe found in MIDWEST LIVING)

3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice (1-1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon prepared or grated fresh horseradish
1/8 teaspoon celery seeds
1 cup tomato juice, chilled (8 ounces)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
Dash kosher salt
Dash freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup vodka, chilled in the freezer (6 ounces)
Ice cubes
2 6-ounce whole smoked chubs, trout, or whitefish
2 kosher dill pickles or cucumber spears
4 large pimento-stuffed green olives

• For mix: In a small pitcher or 2-cup glass measure, combine lime juice, horseradish, and celery seeds. Mash the mixture with the end of a wooden spoon to blend and break up the celery seeds. Pour in the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt and black pepper. Stir everything together to combine.
• Divide the vodka between 2 tall, chilled glasses filled with ice. Fill the glasses with the tomato juice mixture; stir. Add smoked chubs and kosher dill spears to glasses. For each serving, thread 2 olives on a cocktail pick. Place each across the rim of each glass and serve. Makes 2 (about 10-ounce) servings.
