Dustin's Perfect Bloody Mary

1 1/2 oz. Vodka
4 dashes Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
6 dashes Franks Red Hot Sauce
6-8 Vlasic Mild Banana Pepper Rings
1tsp Cayenne Pepper
2tsp Ground Black Pepper
2tsp Minced Garlic
1 pinch of Celery Salt
1-2 Beef Bouillon Cubes (ground up)
1/8 cup of Banana Pepper Juice (out of the Vlasic Banana Pepper or Pepperoncini jars)
1 Vlasic Pepperoncini
1 Claussen Kosher Dill Pickle Spear
1-2 Cubes of Cheese
1-2 Cubes of Beef Summer Sausage
2-3 Green Olives
V8 Juice
Ice
Pint Glass
Straw
Large Wooden Toothpick/Skewer

Fill Pint Glass to the top with Ice. Pour half full with V8 Juice and add Vodka, Worcestershire, Franks, Banana Pepper Rings, Cayenne Pepper, Black Pepper, Minced Garlic, Celery Salt, Beef Bouillon, and Banana Pepper Juice. Mix with the ice to fully disperse all ingredients. Fill Pint Glass to nearly the top and again mix. Run the Wooden Skewer through the Dill Pickle and place all Olives, Beef Cubes, and Cheese Cubes on the skewer, place on top of the glass with the Dill Pickle dangling into the glass and holding it to the glass. Place the Pepperoncini on the top of the drink and add a straw. Give it a pre-tasting to make sure there is enough Banana Pepper Juice to keep the V8 equaled out. Serve.

I have been making this recipe (or one very similar) for a few months now and have had several good comments. Some of the ingredients are fairly specific as not all pickles are the same. On the other hand, everyone has a different take on Cheese (I prefer a nice Colby or Sharp Cheddar). Feel free to be creative with this recipe, for instance it does not need vodka and tastes exactly the same as a Virgin Bloody Mary. If someone tells you they hate tomato juice, I do too... but I love this drink!
