Bunkie, I think there were 3 of us who shared Veggie cocktail recipes back in 2008?
We preferred the one you posted, that much I know. A local friend shared a recipe with me that coulda used some horseradish and a few swigs of hot sauce. All Veggie Cocktails are not created equal.
One thing I did do when I made this in 2008 was to use several yellow tomatoes in the mix. It imparted a gorgeous glow to the juice.

I'm with DLD! Vodka and hot sauce. I am not a Franks hot sauce either. I am either e tobasco or there is one I can pick up at one of the local South American Grocery Stores... I cannot remember the name but it has heat. And its great with homemade V4 V6 or V8 Juice. I made some v? juice last year with celeric root. It was really good. Also black tomatoes are the best for any juice.
