These hot fruit straw things are delicious dipped in a Michelada. I bet it would be good in A Bloody Mary or fruit smoothie too.

The bar was poppin today - great tips and also a shit show, but Bloody Mary’s were made and that fixes everything.

My 2nd favorite Bloody Mary first is Amelia’s in ocean isle beach North Carolina I chase that high all the time lol

Tasted AMAZING but can’t beat it for $6

What are yall up to this weekend👀 hope it involves a Bloody Mary haha

Delicious Bloody with beer chaser on a steamy Saturday 📸 by Mike S!

It's just a simple Bloody Mary tonight. No fancy fruits or vegetables, just an olive topper. I used a little too much habanero sauce but I'm powering through it.

Clamato juice

Worcestershire sauce

Nellie West Key Lime juice

Titos Vodka

El Yucateco Red Habanero Hot Sauce

Horseradish

Salt on the rim and an Olive topper

I love Bloody Marys so much I painted this so that I would never be without 🫒

Mix - Clamato , Salt, Pepper, Tabasco , Magi Jugo, Lime Juice (rimmed with Chamoy and Tajin / Garnish is strawberry and jalapeño)

Modelito and house clamato

Delish. No chaser. Could live without the mushroom garnish. Pickle was superior, olive was bog standard.

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?

What is the version of a Bloody Mary that made you rethink the Bloody Mary? For me it was when I was in New Orleans at Brennans. Brennans has a Bloody Bull, they supplement their Bloody Mary mix with rich beef broth. The drink comes out simple, with an olive, pickled okra and pickled green bean, dusting of a spicy salt around the rim, but with a Bloody Bull mix like that you don't need a lot of fancy stuff on top.

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!

Hello, I wanted to introduce myself as a new co-moderator for r/bloodymarys. I have always loved bloody Marys and also love Cheladas. When I am at restaurants I will look at their photos to see what their garnishes are or quiz the restaurant when I get there. I love a Bloody Mary with a food skewer. As far as making a Bloody Mary at home I tend to like Zing Zang/Clamato mix. Today alas the store was out of Zing Zang, so I bought Mix Masters classic. That mix is a little tomato forward for me so I cut it with Clamato. There must have been a run on Bloody Mary Mixes for the holiday.

When I make a Bloody Mary at home the more toppers I can get, the better. I guess you could say I like a little snack with my drink. I don't measure exactly as I have been making them so long. I look forward to hanging out with ya'll. Thanks to GaryNOVA for allowing me to help.

Here is a photo of today's drink and ingredients.

In the glass

Tito's Vodka

1/2 Mix Masters classic

1/2 Clamato

Lime juice

Pickle juice

Worcestershire

Louisiana Hot Sauce

Reese horseradish

On the skewer

Tomato

Shrimp

Chomps jalapeno stick

Vlasic dill pickle slice

Olive

Sprinkle of lemon pepper on the skewer items

Submerged in the mix is another layer of the skewer ingredients.

On the glass is a lime wedge with a little salt on the edge of the glass.

Both were good. Both different tasting. The Charleston mix is heavy on citrus, and the Lake Anna Virginia mix was unique because they put molasses in it. I added a little pickle juice to the Lake Anna one. The salsa turned out great. All raw ingredients ;

Habanero, Jalapeño, Poblano, Red Onion , Radish, Roma Tomatoes , Cilantro, Lime, Salt

Room 389 - Oakland CA. Went with Tequila.

Have a great long weekend everyone!

Just exactly perfect. No notes .
