I had one that used Absolut Peppar a while back when I was visiting Prague - gave it a nice extra kick.
Similarly, I've had a couple made with tequila/jalapeño infused tequila that were a pretty nice twist on the usual.

Look up a New Orleans style recipe. They use cajun spices and usually use an ocra. I saw one place that infused their vodka with jalapeno peppers. I nearly wept.
Also the bartender at JFK makes a great one.

My grandfather used to scrape a beef bouillon cube over the top... just a dusting. Good stuff

Vodka
Tomato Juice
Horseradish
Lime juice
dash of worcestershire
Pickle
Olives
salt and pepper- i like the lime juice idea. never tried horseradish.sine
- horseradish is mandatorymonospaced
- well, i wouldn't put horseradish, black pepper and tabasco in the same drink... a balance of two of those, i think.sine

- different or not, I've been to dozens of places that use them all and they're all some of the best I've ever hadmonospaced

One of the best ones I've had tasted/looked like it had pickling spices floating around in it (rye seed, mustard seed, coriander seed) on top of the standard black pepper and spice, perhaps to flavor the vodka.

i just read about one made with absinthe instead of vodka, called a "red fairy". should be called the "bloody awful", 'cause that sounds disgusting.
right up there with my newest creation, which i call the "toothpaste screwdriver"
- That sounds like the sort of thing I would've made for someone I wasn't fond of, 15 years ago...detritus

I'm with sine's classic recipe, but with a dash of dry sherry.
Olives in a bloody mary, what is this weirdness?

MrT is right about the dry sherry, can't drink one without it!
everything else pretty standard.
