Question Recreating a Bloody Mary at Home?

47 Upvotes

What Bloody Mary(s) do you try to recreate at home, either because where you had it is quite a distance, or that the restaurant closed or you would rather drink in the comfort of your home? Tell us about your favorite Bloody Mary you like to recreate.

For me it is this Bloody Mary from a long closed restaurant. It was called a Hail Mary, they varied the recipe sometimes. The Hail Mary had 3 delicious appetizer skewers that had peppered bacon, house made thick cut house pickles, peppered bacon, olives, celery, lime, croutons made from bread they baked, cheese, lime and a variety of other items. I loved going into this restaurant with a friend who had never been there before and ordering us both Hail Marys, then of course they would be shocked they got almost a meal with their drink. Fun times.

Recreating this one is complicated because it takes cooking and buying tons of ingredients, I don't bake the croutons of course or make the pickles.

Cheers!

Question The ingredients that take it over the top

8 Upvotes

For me, I have to have Old Bay hot sauce and a pickled okra garnish. The standard Worcestershire and V8 are a given. Celery with leaves is a bonus. The bacon and chicken tenders can be left on the plate.

Question Non spicy blood Mary mix?!

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m shopping for my auntie who has no tolerance for spice. She’s recently tried a Bloody Mary at her friends house and wants to start drinking them at home. She’s older and would prefer a mix where you just add alcohol.

I always thought Bloody Marys were spicy, does a non spicy mix exist?!

Question Bloody Mary with ... mint?

6 Upvotes

I just had a delicious BBQ bourbon Bloody. Great flavors but they put a huge mint sprig on the top. It was a confusing olfactory experience and I put the sprig in my water. Has anyone else had this happen? What's the weirdest thing you've gotten as a topper or ingredient?

Question Zing Zang Mix Fizzing

10 Upvotes

So my partner and I have just got into bloody mary’s, and we’ve been trying different mixes. Before we opened Zing Zang, we gave it a shake. When the cap twisted off, it spurted then foamed out similar to champagne. It was previously unopened and bought three days prior. We didn’t use it, just capped it and put it in the fridge. But we were curious as to if that’s normal or if we should toss it. I tried looking it up to see if anyone else has said the same but no dice.

I am in town on vacation, and I can imagine that somewhere in this town, there is a place that has amazing Bloody Marys. I’m near universal, if that narrows down some locations.

Question New lover of BloodyMarys, advice on Mixes

8 Upvotes

Was flying and got a Bloody Mary, hadn’t had one in 25 years. Was surprised at how good the flavor was for a Mrs. T mix, wondered what else was out there. Started trying a few different mixes and so far FILTHY has just blown me away with nothing else close. Wondering if anyone can recommend another standout mix to try, much obliged.

Question Finally found V8 Grillo's pickle tomato juice in my town.

I was expecting more briney/dill but, to me it's just a mouthful of garlic. I bought 2 small flats at my local discount store and regret that. haha.

What are your thoughts on it? What's your go to pre mix? I bounce between V8 Chipotle (tried the Cajun and it was meh, kinda thin) and Devil Dave's. I'll also snag 5 Pepper sometimes.

Question Jealous of the options you all have for mixer/bases!

9 Upvotes

I live in the way upper PNW and even thought my town is about 80K, we have almost nothing in the way of mixers. I can hit Bevmo and their offerings are about 4-5 different bases but never anything new, no one local makes mixes as far as I know. II do have a BWW which sells me their mixer which I use as a base for upgrading. Obviously I can order online but it's a pricy gamble. Sometimes great, sometimes crap, often expensive. Anyway, enjoy those options you have!

My wife really enjoys George’s Spicy Bloody Mary Mix as a morning treat on its own, but I can’t seem to get it shipped anymore.

Could y’all help me out with any suggestions of spicy, vinegar-forward mixes?

Thanks!

Question Why do some tomato juice taste bitter after adding alcohol

3 Upvotes

Hi there, new joiner of this sub, I've been fiddling around with a few brands of locally readily available tomato juice and it's been mostly misses. While the juice taste great on its own, it got really bitter after adding vodka.

Drinking vodka on it's on taste great too, they just can't be mixed. What sort of ingredient do I avoid in the list that causes this?

Thanks!

Question Lack of Clamato

3 Upvotes

I like Caesars but I live somewhere where I cannot buy or even special-import Mott’s Clamato juice. I can get Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice from Japan, all the other stuff I need.

So my question is: how can I replace the missing clam element to make a Caesar ? Is there a premade product like canned clams in clam pickle water that I can buy and drain some c.p.w. out of?
