To help you get through Thanksgiving, here, once again, is my personal Bloody Mary recipe. Enjoy.
You'll need:
A very tall glass.
A large handful of ice.
2 ounces of Absolut Peppar vodka.
If you can't find the Peppar on such short notice, then just use plain vodka. But don't forget to add 10 or 12 twists of fresh-cracked pepper.
You could make that three ounces.
Four ounces might be pushing it.
6 to 8 ounces of V-8 vegetable juice.
A stalk of celery.
A dash of celery seed, whole.
A dash or three of Worcestershire sauce.
The juice of half a lime.
Some fresh grated horseradish.
A bare minimum of five drops of Tabasco.
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and mix well. Pour into a tall glass and drink well.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Just to be perfectly clear, the celery goes in the glass after the drink has been poured from the shaker. It shouldn't go into the shaker, at least not in any of the Bloody Marys I've seen mixed. :-)
Hi, I'm John Noonan and I approved this Bloody Mary.
Two thumbs up, the horseradish is the key I think.
yum.
i had a bloody mary on my plane (lufthansa) ride home from frankfurt. just tomato juice with a packet of salt and pepper. horrid. on the plus side, it was free.
Have tried some variations.....Throw in some Habanero sauce and Hank 3!
By Jove, you've almost got it! Just add a dash of celery salt, one tsp of juice from the jar of Spanish olives, and a pinch of dry mustard.. And if you use less than four ounces of vodka what's the point of going to all this trouble?
I didn't have Tobasco so I used Chipotle Tobasco. Excellant Bloody Mary.
