Tips

  • Have fun with this drink. It's all about experimentation. You can put many other things in it, such as Old Bay spice, Frank's Red Hot and any other kinds of hot sauce you may have. See what flavor combinations you like best, and really make this drink your own.
  • To make a Virgin Mary, omit any alcohol. Could use tonic water in place of alcohol to cut the tomato juice.
  • If you keep your celery in a jar with a bit of vodka and thin tomato juice in the fridge for a few days, it will draw the liquid up into itself and become a flavored garnish.
  • To make a Bloody Maria, replace the vodka with tequila.
  • A drink made with the commercially available "Bloody Mary Mix" is not nearly as tasty as one made with the recipe above. Making your Bloody from scratch each time or in small batches is part of the fun of drinking them.
  • To make a Bloody Caesar, replace the tomato juice with Clamato juice, or if no Clamato is available, add a dash of clam juice.
  • Don't drink and drive.
  • Try not to drink too much.
