"This is similar to Emerils, but a touch different. It will be the last bloody mary recipe you will ever want - I've tried several until I tweaked this one just right! Nothing like fresh."

    Great recipe. I blended each individual serving after letting sit a day or so in fridge. Celery seed, not salt and TJs ‘v-8’ juice. Added more WS, and a little more hot sauce as well as a little soy sauce for a bit more umami taste. Put in chilled beer mugs rimmed w lemon salt & pepper, garnished w celery stick, pickled green bean and a crisp slice of bacon. Then skewered olive, salami slice, co*cktail onion, cheese cube over the top! It was a show stopper!

    My blender decided to quit working so I whisked furiously by hand. After reading reviews I used regular v8 because my friend doesn't care for too much spice. I quadrupled the recipe which turned out to make about a gallon after adding the vodka. I also added a lot more vodka (about 3/4 of a fifth...it's been a rough week and it's going to be a long Friday night) I mixed everything together at once. This has to be the tastiest bloody Mary I've ever had...restaurants and homemade recipes alike. I don't think I'll ever try a different bloody Mary again. This melts my little southern heart :)

    I used spicy v8 instead, this is a great Bloody Mary recipe!

    Being Canadian I always take a Bloody Caesar over a Bloody Mary because not everyone makes them right up here! Had them in NOLA a few years ago and was in love with a proper one. This is a GREAT recipe. I used the Keg Casesar rimmer in place of celery salt and the pepper and its great with vodka, gin or....believe it or not sake. I had a sake Bloody Mary in Austin a few weeks ago at Bangers and because they don't have a full license for spirits, they use sake as it is a wine. Genius!

    This recipe is the best I've ever found and I love me some Bloody Marys. I always use V8 instead of plain tomato juice. I didn't have regular Tabasco so I used Chipotle Tabasco. I also didn't have enough pickle juice so I used some olive brine to top it off. I am partial to dirty martinis as well so that was a great addition. I'll be continuing to use these tweaks going forward because these drinks were spectacular.

    Amazing, but agree with meduesa420, sub with regular V8. Although I felt one ounce of vodka per drink was plenty.

  3. Best Ever Bloody Mary Recipe - Food.com (28)

    Regular v8, a lot more vodka

  4. Best Ever Bloody Mary Recipe - Food.com (29)

    Clamato® instead of tomato juice. 1 oz green olive juice (optional 1 oz pickled japeño juice) 2 oz A1®brand Steak sauce. Tobasco sauce to taste. Fresh ground black pepper on top

    Substitute tomato juice with one 28oz can of crushed tomatoes. Blends very well, and elevates the flavor of the tomato beautifully.

I then spent the next three years in Germay where I met my wonderful husband. He brought me to South Carolina in '92. I have been here ever since, although I never dreamt I would be a southern girl. My husband and I have one child, a beautiful 10 year-old boy. <br /><br />My heritage is European to include German, Italian, and Norwegian. I totally love German and Italian foods, but don't know much about Norwegian culinary, although I am willing to learn. <br /><br />I love to entertain and have lots of people in my home. There is nothing better than having a good time with family and friends.
