Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water.
Roughly chop the tomatoes, carrot, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper into chunks small enough to fit into a blender or juicer.
If using a blender, place the chopped vegetables in the blender with 1 cup of water. Blend on high until smooth. If using a juicer, process the vegetables directly without adding water.
If using a blender, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove the pulp, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible.
Pour the juice into a pitcher and stir in lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Chill the juice in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately over ice for a refreshing drink.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
