I infused Lovage in my vodka and the results in a Bloody Mary were sublime

Agreed re nixing sugar syrup. I subbed V8 and added a skosh of horseradish. I very much like the addition of the amontillado sherry.

We’ll see how the Easter crowd takes to it.

PS very glad for the servings feature allowing more than 4…my math is crap. ?
