In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, pour the tomato juice.
Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, and hot sauce to the tomato juice. Stir well to combine.
Whisk in celery salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until fully incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, such as adding more hot sauce for spice or more lemon juice for tartness.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Prior to serving, stir the mix again and pour into a glass filled with ice.
For a complete Bloody Mary, add 1.5 ounces of vodka per serving if desired, and garnish with celery sticks, olives, pickles, or lemon wedges.
