Best Bloody Mary I ever had was in Seattle and it was made by using Clamato.

Pretty much my go-to but using my homemade habanero hot sauce and adding this to the above-------- celery salt, black pepper and sea salt.

Yeah, you can certainly riff on it a bit, and I often will, but the above are the standards to work upon. The V8 and wooster seem to give enough saltiness, though.

I've yet to find a jarred premade mix that I don't find too thick and gloppy.

Dimitri's is the hands down winner.

Same here. I've also use a little Zing Zang in my short ribs braising as well as other recipes. I've just started seeing the brand Filthy a lot lately at liquor stores and supermarkets. I tried their Filthy cherries in a cocktail and they were good. Might have to try their BM mix next time.

Clamato


If you like clamato try this. 3-4oz of clamato, 1 lager, 1 shot of tequila, squeeze of lime juice. Stir and fill the cup with ice.

Proves that tastes are different between people. For example, I would rate Kay Baby's a 5 and the Cajun 2 Step a 1.

Track down both Filthy and Stirrings. You’ll need six stars.

This. None of this is difficult to obtain or use. Have to think ahead, maybe, for the hradish.
