In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the tomato juice, fresh lemon juice, and fresh lime juice.
Add the prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika. If you prefer extra heat, also stir in the ground cayenne pepper.
Pour in the dill pickle juice and stir everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Add more hot sauce for spiciness, more celery salt for a savory note, or more lemon/lime juice for tanginess.
Transfer the mixture to a covered container or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the mix chilled over ice as-is for a mocktail, or complement it with vodka for a traditional Bloody Mary cocktail. Garnish with celery sticks, olives, lime wedges, or pickled vegetables as desired.
