Bloody Mary Tips

[ultratang7]

Hey all, I'm going to be gifting out Bloody Marys this year, and I am wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with this. I'm guessing it will be easier to pre-mix everything into the bloody mix(worcechester, horseraddish, celery salt...etc) before I get there. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, and I hope everyone's preparations are going smooth.

Bloody Bull:

2 fl. oz. vodka
2 fl. oz. tomato juice
2 fl. oz. beef bouillon
2 tsp. lemon juice
Ice cubes
Pinch of ground pepper
Pinch of celery salt
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Dash of Hot Sauce

Addendum: I usually keep a container of stronger (less water) Bouillon, and add it to my Standard Bloody Mary, when requested.

Pre-mixing everything would require more refrigeration/cooler room, compared to just bringing sealed bottles/cans, and opening what you need on playa.

I cheat. V8 spicy with a dash of Worcestershire and a little black pepper is my "mix". It's tasty enough for camping purposes and you get two servings of vegetables with every drink

Thanks for the tips, guys. I think I'm going to go with Mr. & Mrs. T's(I pitty da' fool ) or Snappy Tom, and throw in a little Worcestershire sause, black papper and celery salt as I'm serving. The mix really isn't the star of the show, you see, I've had some bacon steeping in vodka for the past 10 weeks.





BTW, it hasn't been sitting on a sunny windowsill this whole time, that was for the picture.It's been sitting quietly in a dark cupboard. This weekend I'm going to freeze it and strain the liquid through a cheesecloth, leaving me with a delicious golden treasure.

I find that adding a touch of A1 sauce, and a splash of something sweet, like lemon-lime soda make a top notch bloody.

I hope you cooked the bacon first.....

Yes, it's cooked. Extra-crispy, even.

Baconsalt makes vegans happy.

Fresh grated horseradish - or easier to find; wasabi

I normally use cow or ox blood, but bouillon doesn't spoil as fast.

[some seeing eye]

Pickles! Pickled anything!

Anything from the olive bar on a wood skewer.

Also if you are adding salt, consider "Lite Salt" it has potassium chloride - potassium is the electrolyte that is harder to get on the playa and necessary to keep the body running.
