Method
Boil and chill the eggs
- Place the eggs in a Dutch oven, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cover the pot, remove from heat, and let stand for 12 minutes.
- Chill the eggs in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Peel and halve lengthwise.
Make the Bloody Mary filling
- Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, tomato paste, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, celery salt, and vodka until smooth. Mix thoroughly until there are no lumps.
- Season the filling with black pepper. Taste and adjust so the flavor is bold but balanced.
Fill and garnish
- Pipe the filling into the egg whites. Fill each half all the way to the edges.
- Top each egg with a celery leaf, a slice of pickled okra, and a pinch of Old Bay. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.
Notes
For the cleanest deviled-egg texture, cool the eggs in the ice bath exactly 10 minutes before peeling. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; for best filling texture, don’t freeze. If you want to skip alcohol, leave out the vodka and use a little extra lemon juice or hot sauce to keep the “Bloody Mary” punch.
