The Bloody Mary
Have a friend that doesn’t like trying new things? Then a Bloody Mary is the perfect classic spooky cocktail for Fall!
Ingredients (makes 4):
4 Cups Tomato Juice
1 Cup Vodka
1 Medium cucumber, seeded and peeled
⅓ Cup distilled Vinegar
1 tsp Celery Seed (not salt!)
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp Hot Sauce
1 tsp freshly ground Black Pepper
2 Medium Cloves of Garlic pressed or minced
¼ tsp Salt
Lemon or Lime Wedges
Lots of Ice, for serving
Garnishes: Celery stalks, skinny carrots, mini bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, dill pickles, shrimp, olives, and feel free to throw some spooky garnishes in as well (fake eyeballs, plastic spiders, etc)
Recipe:
In a blender, combine the tomato juice, vodka, cucumber, vinegar, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Blend on high until smooth. Taste your spooky concoction and add more hot sauce for more heat (if desired). Then you’ll add the black pepper and garlic. Secure the lid back onto your blender and blend for a few more seconds. Sprinkle in your salt for tasting & set aside. If you’d like to rim your glasses with kosher salt, now is the time to do it! Go ahead and rim your glasses with a lemon or lime wedge and dip your glasses into your kosher salt. Fill all glasses with ice, pour your bloody mary mix, and garnish to your heart’s desire!
