The Bells of St. Mary's

This Bloody Mary punch is perfect for large holiday gatherings, and is always served at my family’s gift exchange party. The addition of lime juice adds an extra dose of fresh citrus while dousing the hot and spicy flavors a bit. I leave the bottle of hot sauce next to the punch bowl for those more willing to fire it up.
