Took a while but I finally got around to making this with fresh peeled, then blended then strained tomatoes for the juice.
Yum! Much better than expected (and I already thought it might be nice). Assuming you have a decent tomato juice the kimchi brings out the sweetness of the tomato and gives the drink a rather sophisticated aromatic character, like how you might want a robust spicy bottled scent to taste.
If you like kimchi and you like Bloody Marys you should definitely give this a try. ^

Which brand of packaged, supermarket-style kimchi do you guys recommend? I live close to a shop that stocks tons of the stuff, so it would be good to have an "inside view" as none of the manufacturers means anything to me...

It is the process of storing and fermenting the Kimchi that is important. This also is a thing with no magic solution, because the results can differ widely while all types have their own fans.

I get my kimchi from H Mart as well. One of those huge jars you can get. Kimchi is usually an acquired taste. I started eating it during college due to the # of Korean friends I had. Kimchi and spam with rice was like the food to eat once you get tired of the cafeteria fare (which is like every day).
