The Bloody Mary is the ultimate brunch cocktail. Learn how to create a version that will tickle your taste buds and impress your guests.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 4 ounces tomato juice (chilled)
- 1/4 ounce lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 teaspoon horseradish
- 2 dashes Tabasco (or your favorite hot sauce)
- 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch black pepper (ground)
- 1 pinch celery salt (plus extra for the salt rim)
- 1 wedge lemon (for the salt rim)
- 1 rib celery (for garnish)
- 2 pimento-stuffed olives (for garnish)
- ice cubes
Equipment
Instructions
- Run a lemon wedge around the rim of a highball glass and then dip the glass into celery salt, swirling the glass until the rim is well coated. Set the glass aside to dry.
- Place vodka, tomato juice, horseradish, lemon juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and celery salt into half of a Boston shaker.
- Pour the ingredients back and forth between both sides of the Boston shaker. If you're not using a Boston shaker, pour the ingredients back and forth between a standard shaker and a pint glass or between two pint glasses. Another option is to gently stir the ingredients with a bar spoon.
- Fill the salt-rimmed highball glass with ice cubes and strain the mixed ingredients into the glass.
- Garnish with a celery rib and a couple of pimento-stuffed olives.
Notes
- You can use the same lemon for both the lemon juice and the lemon wedge.
- The best vodka for this recipe is the vodka you have at home. There's no need to buy a special brand or bottle.
- Feel free to get creative with the garnishes. Options include pearl onions, pepperoncinis and pickles as well as proteins like bacon and shrimp.
