Low Sodium Bloody Mary

Blood Marys are something we used to like to have occasionally as a treat, so I'm really pleased to have come up with a low sodium version. The tomato juice and worcester sauce normally make it a really salty drink. In particular, tomato juice comes out at around 0.3g per 100 ml (see here for the levels in pub favourite Britvic; other juices are about the same)

Here's the ingredient list for my low sodium version - just mix it together. Links are to the Ocado site as I was busy doing my shopping there (they have a Tesco price match thing going at the moment), but the products are available all over the place...

Basics:
2 ice cubes
2 shots of vodka
200 ml Sunraysia Tomato Juice (just tomatoes, no added salt)

Adjust quantities to taste:
Lemon juice
Dash Life Worcestershire Sauce (made with LoSalt)
A couple of drops of Tabasco Sauce
Black pepper

Optional Garnish (makes it prettier and adds some vitamins):
Celery stick stirrer
Cherry tomato
