The Bloody Mary is one of the finest morning after drinks ever invented. It restores precious bodily fluids and purity of essence sapped away by the previous night's encounters with cheap forties and vodka drinks made with less artistry. Of all the drinks served at all the bars, the Bloody Mary deserves an ode.
Here are two popular ways to make a Bloody Mary:
Way #1
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 3 oz tomato juice
- 0.5 oz lemon juice
- 7 drops Worcestershire sauce
- 3 drops Tabasco sauce
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 dash celery salt, freshly grated (how is any kind of salt "freshly grated"?)
Serving Instructions
Combine ingredients in glass filled with ice. Stir gently. Serve the Bloody Mary in a pint glass. Garnish with a stalk of celery, pickled asparagus.
Way #2
Ingredients
- 1 quart Beefamato or Clamato juice
