Bloody Mary's...how do you make yours...?

[imax2268]

I use about a shot and a half of vodka...
Clamato...
A 1/4 teaspoon of Horse Radish...
A 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper...
A 1/2 teaspoon of Celery powder...
A 1/2 teaspoon of Garlic powder...
A teaspoon of ground black pepper...
A couple shakes of Tabasco...
some Worcestershire sauce...

and either a few olives or peperocini's...

It's quite good actually...!

[Seeking Serenity]

1. I pour some vodka in a glass with ice

and I drink it while holding a celery stalk in one hand and staring a picture of Snap-e-Peppy (or whatever the hell that stuff is).

[supernova]

V8 BMs are good too!

:9

[trof]

2. Mine's a bit more complicated.

Marinate liberally (like that word) with vodka.
Add celery stalk.

[HEyHEY]

3. Whiskey/ice in mass amounts

Then I fall down the stairs


It's actually a different breed called a "Bloody HEyHEY"


Sorry..unfunny joke

[Old and In the Way]

4. With gin............

Than any/all of the above. I'm partial to V8 as a base. Cocktail onions make a great garnish, too.

5. ooooh...

I just made this one a bit spicey...!!!

Anybody like clamato out there...?

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

6. That sounds good!

I use:

vodka
spicy V8
half a lemon
tabasco
celery salt
fresh black pepper
worcestershire

and sometimes horseradish

I'm going to try adding the cayenne, olives and hot peppers, though, that sounds really good.

That tabasco bloody mary mix isn't bad if you add some fresh lemon juice and extra spices.

7. I never

thought of the lemon juice...I'm going to try that...

I used to think that putting horseraddish in a bloody was kind of repulsive...but going down to the Colorado river and hanging at one of the dock bars...they use horseraddish...it was pretty dam good...so now I'm hooked...

thanks for the lemon juice idea...I'm going to try that...

8. It's got to have Clamato

You have a very good recipe

[BlackVelvetElvis]

9. Mine's the same as yours with one exception

I add A-1 to mine. Beefy!

10. Ever had a Bloody Beer?

Half and half BM mix and beer?
I was once told by an elderly English bartender that this was the original Bloddy Mary.

on edit: a Bloddy Mary is a Bloody Mary with an English accent.
;-)

12. You know what else is good that Americans seem to have never heard of?

A shandy (also British)--mix about 2/3rds beer with 1/3 ginger ale (or half and half). Tastes just like Zima. I love 'em on a hot day.

[mistertrickster]

11. With ice cold gin and vermouth--I call it, a martini, heh.

Once you get used to a good martini, you don't fool around with margaritas, tequila sunrise, gimlets, or screwdrivers, IMHO, heh.

[trof]

15. See my Martini post

[Rowdyboy]

13. V-8 juice, worchestshire sauce, pick-a-pepper sauce, lime juice

Habanero hot sauce, salt and cavenders, with a piece of pickled okra (New Orleans style)

[Ksec]

14. A good BMary has to have a shot of clam juice in it.

It just gives it that certain something . Just Vodka tomato juice and a little squirt of Clam juice.

[stopbush]

16. Clamato? Cayenne pepper? Olives?!?! What, no bartenders here?

Here's mine which I learned and *perfected* behind the bar in NYC:

Fill glass halfway with cubed ice
Pour your 3-count of vodka
Add Worcester sauce - a couple of shakes
Add a healthy spoon or more of horseradish, a couple-a shakes of Tabasco, a healthy few shakes of celery salt, a couple of turns of fresh-ground pepper from the pepper mill, a few squeezes of fresh lemon AND lime, add regular V8 (or tomato juice, if you prefer), shake. Garnish with a wedge of lime and a celery stick (optional).

And, there ya have it.

17. HORSERADISH!

YES!
The 'secret' ingredient.
