What a condescending and shitty take. As if the rest of the free world hasn’t tried other bloody Mary mixes and/or weren’t capable of forming their own opinion. I’ve tried them all and prefer Zing Zang. By a large margin.

Condescending? Probably. Shitty? Absolutely not.

But if you enjoy it...

If anyone made drinkable Vodka, it might be. Until then, it's Gin.

This is my go-to for making a Bloody Mary. I won't go into detail as to the ingredients I use only to be downvoted by people who won't even attempt to put up a recipe and just downvote for shits and giggles.

The best bar Bloody Mary I can recall was at, of all places, an Irish bar in Mid-City, New Orleans. Finn McCool's made the best one I've ever tasted out of a local bar and actually won an award for Best Bloody Mary in the city several years ago.

Haven't been there much since Stephen and Pauline Patterson sold it a few years back.

That's all? Otherwise, good call on the gin. Gin was the more popular spirit for it until the 1960s when vodka grew popular.

Way too much damn work. Most of the time when I want a Bloody Mary (exception is when I'm having oysters, then I always want one), it's because I was up too late drinking the night before. Last thing I want to do is put forth all that effort.

Pro tip: If you want to make your own Bloody Mary mix, you make it the day before.

But I guess, ‘Duh, I buy Zing Zang!’ works for some connoisseurs.

I always make and order Bloody Marys with gin. So much better than vodka for me.

I think you meant Clamato. That clam juice really adds a nice briny pop.

I always have Zing Zang on hand as a reliable favorite, but I've been enjoying trying others and will add this one to the list.

I seldom (if ever) use them as is, so for me, the mix is less important than what I put in it. I love a healthy scoop of horseradish and some celery salt and a splash of something briny.

I don't get the hate for how other people choose to make this drink because it's so versatile and easily personalized.

I think bloodys are very much a preference thing.

personally I like zigzans with sapphire gin some horseradish and spicy beans... squeeze lemon and lime.

Perfect every time.

Same here, but I doctor it up with lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt, black pepper and horseradish then shake the crap out of it to get it blended.

I haven't found a Bloody Mary premade mix I like more than the above.
