I'm not really that into Bloody Marys although I'll ask for a can (without the vodka) on a plane. Occasionally I've gotten a full can but other times I just get it poured into a cup.
But at home maybe I'll buy some mix (can't make it myself worth anything) and I guess the celery is obligatory. I've seen some photos showing just a bare stick and it looked weird. I thought that it had to be with leaves, although only a little bit will be found in a typical celery bunch. The center will almost have lives but is usually too pale, and most bunches are lopped off. I've been to a specialty produce market where I bought long, untrimmed celery. It was literally 3 ft long.
I always wondered how bars do it. What would they do with all the celery that doesn't get used in Bloody Marys?
