Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a shaker, combine the vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper. Fill the shaker with ice, then put the lid on. Shake it gently to combine. Remember, you want a good mix without overly diluting the drink.
Step 4: Enhance with Garnishes
Here are some handy tips to elevate your Bloody Mary game:
Use quality ingredients: The better your vodka and tomato juice, the better your drink. Look for organic or artisanal brands when possible.
Adjust the spice: Test different levels of hot sauce and horseradish to find what suits your taste.
Experiment with garnishes: Don’t hesitate to play around! Pickled vegetables, cheese cubes, or even small sandwiches can create a complete meal in a glass.
Chill your ingredients: For the best experience, ensure your vodka and tomato juice are chilled beforehand.
Make a batch: Hosting a gathering? Prepare a large batch in advance and let guests serve themselves. Just keep the ice separate until serving.
