Easy Bloody Mary Recipe. Mix good quality vodka with tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and Tabasco for the perfect cocktail. 

I am a sucker for a good

Bloody Mary recipe.

I actually had never tried one until a few years ago. My husband would always order them and I’d find myself envious of the tomato drink packed with little finger foods. The only time I crave green olives and celery is when they are layered beautifully on a toothpick in my husband’s beverage.

He would roll his eyes the very second his order was delivered to the table in anticipation of me reaching over and yanking the little treats right out of his reach. About three of four times of me doing this, he finally put his foot down and told me  I will have to order my OWN drink.

I caved and decided that I would give it a try. Surprisingly, vodka and tomato juice pair well together! It gives your drink a tiny zing that tastes A-MAZ-ING with cracked pepper. We’ve hesitated making our own version at home, but when I found out it was National Bloody Mary day I just couldn’t resist.

Easy Bloody Mary Recipe

This recipe is so stinken easy.

How to make the perfect Bloody Mary

Toss your ingredients into a giant pitcher the night before.

Let the flavors blend together.

Enjoy the cocktail over ice.

I do recommend you adjust the ingredients according to your tastes. We like a LOT of pepper and lemon but if you’re not-so into it you can easily reduce those two ingredients. ALSO, don’t be stingy with the add-in’s! The veggies are totally what this drink is all about. We season the side of our cup with creole seasoning (obsessed and put it on EVERYTHING) and switch up what goes on the tooth pick. A few of our favorites? Tiny dill pickles, green olives, celery, banana peppers, bacon, or even shrimp!
