Personally, I have watched so many variations on this it rivals the "martini" 
for personalization.

But I will share 2 thoughts:

1) I think with the bloody mary, simplicity is key.  Vodka and V-8 with pepper 
and spice, worcechestshire (or however it is spelled).  The V-8 lend to a 
variety of vegetal flavors beyond tomato and tastes pretty good.  Spice from 
black peppercorn and whatever regionally accepted chile.  a little salt always 
helps.  Then citrus, and I prefer lemon to lime.  Could this be more vague?????

2)  the bar I am in currently serves a variation of the bloody mary that 
includes the flavors without the "wight" of tomato juice.


2 oz Sundried tomato infused vodka
1/2 medium tomato
1 inch piece of celery
1 black peppercorn
1 slice chile (New Mexican Green, Anaheim, or Jalepeno)
1/2 fresh lime squeezed

Muddle Tomato, chile, perrerpcorn and lime juice.  Add Vodka, and shake with 
ice.  Fine strain into a chile rimmed cocktail glass.

Sundried Vodka
1 liter vodka
1 cup sundried tomatoes
pinch salt
1 pience 1" x 1" lemon peel

Macerate for 1 week.  Strain through coffe filter

Chile Salt
1# kosher salt
2 T ground piquin chile
2 T ground arbol chile
2 T cayeene chile
1 T cumin
1 T paprika
1 T orange zest

Mix together thouroghly, and spread onto a large plate.  Microwave for 3 
minutes on high stirring half way through cooking.  Cool to room temp.  Store 
airtight.  No shelf life.

It's pretty funky!
