Summertime is near and BBQ and cool drinks are calling your name! I’m not big on mixed drinks, but this one won my heart. The Bloody Mary is deemed “the world’s most complex cocktail” but it is so quick and easy to make. A handful of the ingredients are things you probably have on hand.
The Bloody Mary has a reputation of being a “hangover cure” but dun dun dun! Science has proven that drinking more alcohol with a hangover only numbs the pain. Rest, plenty of water, and electrolyte replacement is the only “cure” for a hangover. But if drinking one makes you feel like your hangover is being cured, then I say whatever floats your boat!
Gather these ingredients.. You’re gonna put your feet up and enjoy one of these.
Makes 1 quart.
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste 2 cups water 1 (12 ounce) can v-8 vegetable juice 1/3 cup distilled white vinegar 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt 1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce Ice Optional for serving: Celery, peperoncinis, green olives
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and mix well. You can stir in your favorite vodka into the pitcher, but I prefer to just take a pint glass (16 oz) and add in 1/4 cup vodka and 3/4 cup of the mix. Serve over ice, of course!
If you make one of these bad boys, let me know what you think
