Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Michelada vs. Bloody Mary

Let's hear it.... I won't turn down a Bloody Mary if someone is makin them but I'm firmly in the Michelada camp..... either Modelo or Sol.... Pacifico or Estrella in a pinch..... I do mine with Clamato, fresh lime, some Worcestershire and Tapatio.... Tajin on the rim 👍

Skip the proud Latin American bullshidt. Gin and Bloody Mary mix.

Tajin on the rim of a cider don’t suck though

I enjoy both. I tend towards vodka Mary's (tweaked Zing Zang) in the AM and micheladas (via Coors Light) in the PM.

What does that mean? I'm white and enjoy Mexican food/drinks 🥴

Love me a tall boy Michelada or two. Can’t seem to make em better at home.

Like 'em both. Also like a Bloody Maria, which is made with tequila. Or a Bloody Marina, which is vodka and Clamato. I buy Michelada mix at the store. It's not as good as fresh, but it's easy.

Thou shalt not mix tomatoes and alcohol.

This \/ or for a quickie, Zing Zang or original Major Peters. Both with a touch of heat added. About the only thing I ever put in beer might be salt.

Gunzo, I would like to try one like you made. No horse radish?

No HR. I love the flavor of it but trust me, get too happy with the Zatarains powders & the heat builds quickly. Just a bit over a measured level teaspoon is about enough for most.

Worcestershire to taste, mine is enough that it starts to darken the color of the juice. Lime to taste but I don't use much. The mix will easily carry 2 shots of 80 proof, & when the vodka smoothness goes up so can the amount

You ever get out to Joe's in Chico?

Man, they made a heck of a bloody Mary....

Ahem…bloody “joe”

Couple of these will really kick start your day....

I have never applauded the garnish silliness that has afflicted Bloody Marys. A celery stick to stir is more than sufficient. The dorkhead who included cauliflower in that photo needs to turn in his man card. If "it" is a man.

Uh, how bout madderv juce an, uh, uh votka

You fine people may have all of my share. They are truly not to my taste.

On the flip side, I enjoy smoky Islay single malt and many people don't.

I like the MR and MRS T BOLD and SPICY bloody mary mix to make my own at home. Pour about 2-3 ounces of the bloody mary mix into a frosty mug and add 12 ounces of your favorite brew. Damn fine refreshing drink for summertime enjoyment.

Can’t say I ever have. Might have to schlep down there while the students are gone.

Another vote for Mr T's Spicy for Bloody Marys. I've tried and rejected both Zing Zang and the Tabasco mix.

For a michelada, the lime juice is mandatory. The bottle mix is pretty good, IMO. As is the Mr T's or a small can of V-8 Spicy with a half ounce of lime juice and then the beer.
