I picked up this recipe many years ago from a bartender friend who was renowned for his Bloody Marys. I think the beef bouillon gives it an added dimension in flavor. It's still the best I've ever had, and it is also a great addition to soups and even as a non-alcoholic refreshing drink -- better than V-8 or that Mr. and Mrs. commercial product. This recipe makes a gallon. Once you taste it, you'll probably enjoy it even without any alcohol.
