Bloody Marys!

These delicious day after drinks were brought up in another thread.
The bloody must be the drink with the most variations out there. Walk into many saloons on a Sunday morning and you’ll see a bloody Mary bar loaded with items to shove in your glass.

Here’s our basic bloody…

Vodka
2 Oz of beer
Worcester sauce
A-1 sauce
Celery salt
Tobacco sauce
A Clausen dill
Spicy bloody mix
And of course a snit

As far as debris goes, we really enjoy shrimp and beefsticks.

I’ve seen them served with chicken wings and sliders.

How do you guys make them?
What bar serves the best?

I worked a bar years ago that wanted a splash of orange juice added.Stalk of Celery and a Pickle were the only chewables added.

Love me a half and half mix of Spicy mix and Clamato… skip the tobasco and A-1. A large stuffed olive is also a must

Its usually made into a snack for myself. And whatever is on hand goes in, kind of seasonal.

Romaine lettuce leaf, whole carrot, beef sticks, shrimp, lunch meat rolled up, celery, olives, pickle spear or whole, hot sauce, bologna, leftover pizza, wings, meatloaf, the list goes on….

Can’t believe I forgot the celery! Gotta stir it!

I normally start with half clamato half Mr T bold and spicy mix. add A1, worcester, celery salt, salt and pepper. typically pickle, olives, celery, beef stick or summer sausage, cheese stick. have added pickled asparagus which is pretty good too.

out-fishing, we would get along great sipping bloodys

Dilly beans (pickled beans) plus a chaser of Grain Belt!

I think so Big G! Also tried some great stuffed olives too love the jalapeno, blue cheese, garlic, habenero.

We keep it basic at the house. Zing Zang, xtra Worcheshire, ground peppercorns mixed with vodka and ice in a celery salt rimmed glass. Then a dash of white pepper on top.

Garnish with whatever roughage I have on hand, which is usually garlic stuffed olives, pepperoncini peppers and a pickle spear.

thats alot of bloody’s Icenutz!

IMO clamato has no business in a bloody. I like Zing Zang’s for spicy mix, or just spicy V8. My parents keep some homemade premix in the fridge that is the best! It’s a secret recipe that I hope is included in the will, since I haven’t gotten it out of them yet! lol You can’t have too many “garnishes” either imo.

Best restaurants for them would be Jimmy’s in Sauk Rapids, any Ol Piper Inn, Grizzly’s, or my personal favorite Patrick’s in St. Peter.

Most of them are given out as gifts to family and friends, but we do use a few quarts ourselves!!!

Only Nancy’s drink bloody’s with Clamato.

Another Zing-Zang fan. Also like to add horse radish to add a little zip.

The more Clamato the better!
Gotta keep it thinned down…

Another variation of a bloody mary I like is use orange juice instead of tomato juice/bloody mix and don’t add anything else except vodka.

That’s what the vodka is for

Got to have horseradish to make it great. Beer on the side.

Tobacco sauce? Sounds yucky.

Call me NANCY – You have to have Clamato in a great Bloody Mary.

Once, just once try your bloody with spiced rum instead of vodka.

Don’t dis it til you try it.

That’s the wonderful thing with bloodys, its excluded from the noon hour clause, man law.

There is no noon clause. You’ve been lied to.

It’s always after noon anyway.

Give me Clamato or give me death in my bloody. It just plain taste good.

I also like Clamato, Nancy boy or not. I like a 50/50 mix of Clamato and Spooky horseradish mix. The Spooky brand is not easy to find but it started in my hometown and it’s available at a few places locally.

Some other necessary ingredients are: celery, beef stick, Claussen Hot & Spicy pickle, 2 tablespoons of Hot & Spicy pickle juice, a shake of Worcestershire sauce, 2-3 shakes of black pepper. A garlic stuffed green olive is icing on the cake.

That’s a couple unique things about a Bloody Mary. They can be had at anytime and you might not ever have the exact same tasting one twice!

With or without Nancy.
