Step 1
Start by pouring the dill pickle juice onto a shallow plate. In another shallow plate, mix together the sriracha salt, celery seed, and black pepper. Take four glasses and dip the rims first into the pickle juice, then into the spice mixture to coat them well. Pop the glasses into the fridge or freezer to chill while you make the drink.

Step 2
Pour the rest of the dill pickle juice along with the salt mixture into a large pitcher. Add the vegetable juice, vodka, lime juice, horseradish powder, and hot sauce. Give everything a good stir, then let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.

Step 3
While the drink is chilling, thread a pickled egg, a pickled okra spear, and a dill pickle onto a bamboo skewer for each glass. When you’re ready to serve, add a couple of ice cubes, one of the loaded skewers, and a celery stalk to each rimmed glass. Give the Bloody Mary mix a quick stir and pour it into the prepared glasses. Serve right away and enjoy!
