What’s In A Bloody Mary?
A Bloody Mary has a handful of ingredients but they aren’t hard to find!
Vegetable Juice Cocktail: My fave is spicy V8, but good ol’ tomato juice works too. (If you use clamato juice it becomes a Caesar cocktail). Alcohol: Vodka or substitute gin Spicy: Tabasco Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, and lemon juice Garnish: Celery Salt for the glass rim and a celery stalk and/or my favorite pickled beans for the garnish! Or go crazy with topping options!
What Kind of Vodka to Use: Honestly, any kind of vodka works in this bloody mary recipe. I most often use a regular vodka (Titos is what I frequently have on hand) but you can also buy flavored vodkas (like chili pepper) that would work well in this recipe too.
