I'm doing Bloody Marys for the early start tomorrow. It's probably largely a matter of personal taste, but thought I would solicit everybody's thoughts on how to build the best one. Start from scratch with tomato juice or use a prepared mix? Favorite mixes: Zing Zang or something else? Add Worcestershire, horseradish, juice, spices to prepared mix? Etc. Thanks for any input.

I would just doctor up a good mix.

If you don't feel like making them, call up The Patio in BR and get a gallon from them. Alcohol is already added and it's about $20 if I remember correctly.

Zing Zang


Start here, get some Tito's vodka, and all the fixings. Hard to go wrong if you just put it out and let folks fix their own

I buy a good mix and add whatever I like more of, as well. Put out some fun garnishes like boiled shrimp and bacon and it will be fancy pants!

I like to add a lot of pickled stuff and with a mix its always too much sodium for how many I want to drink.

So I usually get just tomato juice or low sodium V8 and add celery salt,black pepper, Worchester, tabasco, lime juice, pickled okra, cocktail olives with the garlic in the middle. Pretty much whatever you can think of and they are great.

Why do people use expensive vodka when making bloodys? Makes zero sense. All of my bartender friends used to make fun of people who paid extra to put premium vodka in a Bloody Mary.

Try muddling a cut cucumber in the vodka before adding the tomato juice or mix. Sounds odd, but really works.

Choose any one of these and you are good to go, there are very thick and syrupy and don't water down your drink. Just add vodka and a splash of Coke and this will change your life.

I prefer a Cesar.

Ice,Vodka, Clamato juice, a couple dashes of Worcestershire, salt and pepper, and a couple dashes of your favorite pepper/hot sauce. Shake it up a bit and garnish however you like.

The Canadians garnish with celery and rim the glass with celery salt.
