Last few I have tried were watery (after being briefly iced down) and a let down. Saw on the recent horseradish thread that it was an addition. I think that is interesting. I’m not interested in the presentation style Bloody Mary with a lobster, spatchcocked turkey, or a 5 foot rotisserie alligator on top. Just looking primarily for a good homemade mix that’s not too salty but flavorful and will stand up to being iced without being too watered down.

That's my recipe too. I add: Shake of celery salt, worchestershire sauce and tobasco. Shaken then squeeze in a lemon wedge and push to the bottom with a celery stalk. Drop in 3 spiced beans (not an olive fan).

Not a big bloody mary fan, however, a couple of weeks ago I stumbled into something. I had made a big batch of pico de gallo, after we ate all the crunchies, there was some tasty looking juice left. I mixed it into a BM, one of the best I ever had.

I keep it simple. Clamato juice, vodka and spice it your way from there.

Zing Zang mix spiced up with some Tony's, celery seed, lemon and lime wedge, horseradish, worsteshire sauce and a little Guinness beer. If I have pickled green beans or orka to add as a garnish, I'll put in a splash of the pickle brine too.

Zing Zang with A-1 steak sauce, shaken up makes an absolutely killer bloody Mary. The A-1 thickens it up nicely.

I’ve been on a quest for a good Bloody Mary mix and have bought 5-6 bottles of various brands. None of them were above average. Instead of tossing them I mixed them all together. Oddly it is an excellent combination now. Served it to friends and they like it as well

Zing Zang, a couple of squirts of Demitri's Bloody Mary Seasoning and your choice of vodka is all that is needed.

For my mixer I do this. I just dump all of this into a container and shake up. I never measure, just do a healthy amount of each.

Jug of tomato juice
Lemon Juice
Lime Juice
Worcestershire Sauce
Hot Sauce
Prepared Horseradish
Salt
Pepper

Then fill a pint glass with ice and fill it almost half way with Vodka or Gin (the bottom of a pint glass holds a lot less than the top does). Then top it off with the mixer and mix it up.

Anyone remember that bloody mary mix that came out of lafayette in mid to late 2000s that had like oyster juice, etc. It blew zing zang out of the water but you needed to drink it pretty quick once you bought it, it did not last too terribly long on the shelf. I'm guessing they went out of business a while ago as I haven't seen it in any of the stores I used to get it in years.
