Give me your best Bloody Mary recipe.


Not really much of a fan of Bloody Marys.  You should talk to Pissy.  But here's what I would do if my wife wanted one:

Fill a highball glass with ice
1.5 to 2 Oz vodka
Fill to almost top with Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix
4 dashes of Bitter Truth celery bitters
Garnish with pickled okra, pickled green beans, and/or pickled carrots

Enjoy your early Sunday buzz...

ZingZang and vodka all by itself makes a great Bloody Mary. Sparkle informed me a few weeks ago that Lee and Perins makes ZinZang- as such its really meaty with worchestershire.

But I like the following when I can get it:

Worchestershire
Celery salt
Black pepper
JalapeƱo pickle juice (about a tablespoon)
Horseradish
A few drops of Franks
Add vodka over all this
Homemade tomato juice is best.

Sometimes a dash of beer.

This is what I do when I get the chance. If I had some fresh shucked oysters, I'd be tempted to dump one in.
Vinyls.   deal.

I like that it has the texture of salmon but a lighter flavor. The FDA took it off the market years ago because it's so oily. It can give you not very good poops sometimes.

Yep.  That's the only mix I use.

I've used most of the ingredients you mentioned.  At one point, I got so carried away with adding ingredients that they started turning shitty.  Now, I try to keep it simpler...something like Zing Zang, chipotle Tabasco sauce, maybe some Sriracha (not much), and perhaps a bit of Liquid Smoke.

Also, have you tried this?  Bacon infused vodka, commercially produced.  Good shit.

Oyster juice = umami.  Worchestershire too. I think that umami is the ultimate appeal of Bloody Mary's.

I haven't had the bacon vodka, but I'd be down for trying it. I likely would not buy a bottle, but it seems intriguing.

Just say yes to umami.

Clam juice or oyster juice is a must for bloodies as well as fresh horse radish.

I, for the record, am very skeptical of bacon flavored vodka.

I made some bacon infused bourbon not long ago.  It's great in old fashioneds.

OK Lumpy, I've finally got a chance to get back to you. You can marinade chicken (or any kind of meat for that matter) in a vinaigrette.  The basic ratio is 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil. You can use just about any vinegar and just about any kind of oil.

1/4 cup vinegar
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper

Once you are comfortable you can add extra ingredients.  Here are some suggestions:

1 tablespoon Mustard - I like dijon or whole grain.
1 tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Ketchup
Diced tomato
Fresh Herbs - I like cilatro, thyme, basil and tarragon but not necessarily together.

You can add anything you like really.

Marinade your meat over night and grill on a medium/hot fire.  Make sure you have a cool spot in case you have flair ups from the oil.  If you are adding honey there is also potential for burning.

it might actually work in a bloody mary, but if I really wanted bacon in a bloody mary id put a piece of bacon in one.
