- Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice.
- Gently "roll" or rock the shaker for a few seconds to mix and chill the ingredients without frothing the tomato juice too much.
- Discard the ice from the glass and refill with fresh ice.
- Strain the contents of the shaker into the glass.
- Garnish with a celery stalk and a lemon wedge.
