While there are some decent bloody mary mixes on the market, creating your own Bloody Mary mix guarantees a fresh and flavorful mix. My recipe at the end of the post might just be the best Bloody Mary to slither past your puckered lips. I use regular tomato juice as the base for my mix but if you prefer a bit more bite, V-8 or Clamato have built in flavor.
Clamato is a bit thinner if you prefer the texture. I like to serve one mild option and one spicy. And then I spice it up even more once it hits my glass. Prepared horseradish, celery salt, black pepper, garlic salt, worcestershire and a couple of dashes of Tabasco are the musts in my mix.
Go hot or regular strength with your horsey sauce depending on your spicy preference. When it comes to vodka, my Pickle-Infused Vodka adds a piquant punch.
Prep the homemade Bloody Mary mix. Stir together the tomato juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and Tobasco in a large pitcher. Rim the glasses with a mixture of celery salt and kosher salt. Dip the rim of the glass in a plate of shallow water, then roll the rim a mix of celery salt and kosher salt. Fill the glass with ice and add 2 ounces of vodka, then top it off with the Bloody Mary mix you prepared. Show off your garnishing ingenuity by putting your pickled veggies and extra bites center stage for your guests to pick and choose and create a loaded drink.
And now for the good stuff: the garnishes. When creating your Bloody Mary bar, the options are endless when it comes to picking the garnishes. A few of my favorite veggie garnishes are:. Those with a heartier appetite will appreciate having a few protein-rich garnishes as well. Here are a few ideas to get you started:.

It has an incredible savory-sweet flavor from the tomato with touches of rosemary and mint and nice, bright citrus — perfectly complementary in a Bloody Mary.
Aquavit, a distilled spirit heavily associated with Scandinavia, draws much of its flavor from herbs like dill, cardamom, and caraway. The salty, herbal, savory notes of the Linie are a wonderful match for traditional Bloody ingredients. In the spirit of Scandinavian drinking, add some extra special pickled things on top for the perfect punch of flavor.
