Traditional Bloody Mary

January 1 was National Bloody Mary day – so I made some Bloody Marys!    We used vodka as well as a couple of other variations (see below).  It’s a great drink for brunch.

What you need:

How to Do it:

Place all the ingredients except the garnish in a large pitcher and stir, making sure to mix it all well.  (A wire whisk works great).

Put ice into four 8-10 oz. glasses and pour the mixture over the ice.  Use your choice of garnish (the classic is celery –  I used them all!)

Makes 4 drinks

Here are some variations to make not using vodka:

Bloody Bacon Mary

I love Sunday brunch with a bloody mary – and I really love bacon!  But I don’t like so many garnishes that I cant drink the drink!  So here’s my version of the treat!

Bloody Bacon Mary [4]

How to Do it:

Put all the ingredients for the mix in a pitcher and mix well using a wire whisk.  Chill.

Wrap each piece of bacon round a wooden skewer,

then wrap in a paper towel.

Microwave on high for about 1 – 2 minutes – just until the bacon is crisp.  But be careful – it burns fast!

Once they have cooled, carefully remove them from the stick.

Rub the rim of each glass with a lemon wedge.  Place the salt mixes on a flat plate and rub the rims of each glass in the salt.

Place ¼ of the mix with 4-5 ice cubes and 2 oz of vodka in a shaker.  Shake well.  Pour into a class and garnish with a bacon twist.  (you can also add green olives or lemon wedges).

 

Serve immediately!
