I tended bar at a Bloody Mary party yesterday. I offered:
Bloody Mary (spicy or not)
Bloody Maria (with tequila)
Virgin Mary (no booze)
Bloody Marina (with Clamato)
or
A Glass of Whine ("But I don't like Bloody Marys")
The secret to my Bloody Mary is a mix of dill pickle juice, sweet pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce, and celery seed. Half a teaspoon to a 5-oz drink.
I went through seven liters of Mr T's Spicy Mix, one liter of mild, and a liter of Clamato. Two glasses of wine. They kinda liked the BMs...
Rock, try the dill pickle juice in your homemade tartar sauce some time. You can thank me later.
