Bloody Mary Recipe From Scratch?!
Bloody Mary Recipe From Scratch?
I'm looking for a GREAT bloody mary recipe that you make from scratch... this means no Mrs. T's or any premix. I'm talking the real deal. Does anyone have one?
Answers:
If you asked 100 bartenders you'd likely get 100 answers. It's all a matter of taste. But for THIS bartender, I go shot of vodka, 10oz can of tomato juice, 2 teaspoons of Lea and Perrin's worcestershire (I like quite a bit, and I prefer L & P), dash of pepper and celery salt, squeeze of lime, dash of tabasco, two olives and a stalk. Lots of ice and shake the hell out of it. I think it should be REALLY cold and well mixed.
I know you said no mixers, but I have to plug "Zing Zang" made by Lea and Perrin. It's a good enough mix to serve "as is" or as a place to start doctoring if someone wants something specific like "extra spicy." I don't work for them or anything, but in my opinion, nothing else compares. It's a steak in a bottle.
Here's a site that has a recipe, but I like to add celery salt to mine.

Mix all ingredients to taste, serve over ice with a celery stalk garnish.
No actual recipe, but some key ingredients other than tomato juice are: lemon juice, worcestershire, cilantro, horseradish, celery seed, red and black pepper, or Old Bay, balsamic vinegar, garlic. I just wing it. I hope this helps!
