I use a long wooden skewer to thread the bacon, olives, and cornichons for the garnish.

Makes 1 serving

• 1 slice thick-cut sugar-free nitrite-free bacon, cooked
• Olives
• Cornichons
• Ice
• 1 stalk celery, trimmed with leaves intact
• 6 ounces unsweetened tomato juice
• 2 ounces vodka
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, optional
• Pink Himalayan salt
• Black pepper

Thread the cooked bacon onto a wooden skewer, alternating with olives and cornichons, the bacon weaving through like a ribbon. Set aside.

Fill a tall glass with ice and place the celery stalk in the glass.

In a cocktail shaker with a lid, combine the tomato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, and horseradish, if using. Shake vigorously for several seconds and pour into the ice-filled glass. Top with a grind or two of salt and pepper. Place the bacon skewer into the drink and serve.
