Cheers to a Bloody Mary!

 

I love a good Bloody Mary to start the mornings on the weekend, at brunch, or on vacation.

A co-worker of mine, Andrew, gifted me with this original art work of a Bloody Mary and all its fixins. I pick him up for work daily, so the gift was the perfect thank you. Andrew teaches Pre K, and I love his wrapping skills too.

I could not wait to get it hung near the bar area of the kitchen.

How do you like your Bloody Mary?

My fave mix is by Zing Zang. I usually add some Worcestershire sauce as well as spicy beans and olives.

Here’s a common recipe (click HERE):

Ingredients:

• 3 ounces tomato juice
• 1 1/2 ounces vodka
• 1/2 ounce lemon juice
• 1 dash of Worcestershire sauce
• Celery salt
• Ground pepper
• Hot pepper sauce to taste
• Horseradish to taste (optional)
• Celery stalk and/or pickle spear for garnish
• Lemon and/or lime wedge for garnish

Preparation:

1. Build the liquid ingredients in a highball glass over ice cubes.
2. Stir well.
3. Add the seasonings to taste.
4. Garnish with a lemon or lime and celery or pickle.

Cheers with my Bloody Mary, y’all!
