Best Bloody Mary Mix?

My best friend loves her Bloody Marys.
When she came to visit us last month we took her to a peach stand that sells home-made relishes, jellies, pickled vegetables, etc. She was amazed at "all the things you can pickle" and kept saying "Ooh, this would be great in a Bloody Mary".
I'm going to get all the items she oohed and ahhed over and ship them to her for Christmas. I'd like to include a bottle of GOOD Bloody Mary Mix.
Does anyone have a favorite bottled mix? Does anyone have a fantastic recipe? She's a bit of a gourmet and she's not afraid of spicy.
Thanks for any ideas.

For starters, get her off of the "mary's" and into the Caesars Mmmmmmmmmmm...

I agree with dr_bar, Caesars are the way to go.

For the mix I use Mottes Spicy Clamato Juice.

I bartend part time and we have tried a bunch of different bloody mary mixes and the one I've liked the most hands down is "Zing Zang". You can get it in the grocery store. Its prespiced and tastes really good. Its gotten to the point that I'll only drink BMs with that stuff.

Spicy Hot V8 juice is what I use when I make them. But, umm, I've only made them myself once or twice.
