What is the bartender tip for a Bloody Mary?

Tomato paste isn't tomato sauce: paste is just tomato and makes a full-bodied juice. The batch makes more than one serving; use 90 ml per drink. Soy sauce stands in for Worcestershire. If you like more body, just strain once. Season the hot sauce and salt to taste. Store-bought tomato juice can replace the homemade juice in the same amount.
