5 STAR BLOODY MARY RECIPE

In the United States, the Bloody Mary is a common “hair of the dog” drink, reputed to cure hangovers with its combination of a heavy vegetable base (to settle the stomach), salt (to replenish lost electrolytes), and alcohol (to relieve head and body aches).

WHAT’S IN A 5 STAR BLOODY MARY RECIPE?

Bloody Marys typically have vodka. However, you can omit the vodka and have a virgin. With all the flavors, it’ll still be fantastic!

  • Bloody Mary base (tomato juice and spices)
  • Salt or Spice rim for glasses
  • Ice
  • Vodka
  • All the garnishes

HOW TO MAKE A BLOODY MARY FROM SCRATCH {NO MIX}

For an easy homemade Bloody Mary base, stir together tomato juice (I prefer low-sodium.), lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, garlic salt, black pepper, Old Bay Seasoning, and Tobasco in a large pitcher.

  • Mix the Bloody Mary base with vodka in a shaker without ice or stir it together in a large glass or pitcher. (You can prep this a day ahead and refrigerate it. Bloody Mary mix is best very cold.)
  • Rim your glass
  • Add ice to your glass (have plenty of ice on hand if you’re serving multiple guests)
  • Pour your cocktail over ice in your rimmed glass
  • Garnish, garnish, and garnish!

HOW TO RIM A GLASS

  1. Wet the rim of your glass with a wedge of fresh lemon.
  2. Add a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning to a flat dish.
  3. Dip the glass rim into the seasoning and turn to coat.
