This version of the classic tomato juice-based cocktail was created by Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor restaurant in New York City. Though fairly simple and straightforward in his approach, Freeman uses freshly grated horseradish, but he admits that prepared is OK for single servings. Freeman encourages experimentation: He recommends adding wasabi or curry powder for an interesting twist.
