Bloody Mary Mix




If you know me well, you know that I can’t resist a really good bloody mary! My friend Greg makes the most delicious bloody mary mix I’ve ever had. I have asked him for the recipe many, many times and he just rambles off a large list of ingredients with no quantities whatsoever. I was lucky enough over new years to actually whiteness the making of the mix, and immediately started writing down quantities as he was adding them to the tomato juice. It’s a lot of ingredients, but it has a wonderful depth of flavor and is truly the best mix I’ve ever had. I drink the mix in the morning sometimes for breakfast, and to be honest, I never miss the vodka when it tastes this good. If you need a little hangover cure, then throw in some vodka, add a couple celery stalks, pickled asparagus, and olives.

Greg’s Bloody Mary Mix

1 Large Bottle Tomato Juice (46 Ounces)
1 Tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 Tablespoon Celery Salt
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon Paprika
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
5 Ounces A1 Steak Sauce
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Olive Juice
1 Tablespoon Pickle Juice
1 Teaspoon Grated Horseradish, or more to taste (don't use creamed style)
Few Dashes Tabasco

Mix all in a large pitcher and enjoy!

  3. Sounds great, Jason. The only thing that's missing is copious amounts of vodka. :-)
