Bloody Mary's!!!!

[jackdog]

I know it's been done before, but what is the best bloody mary mix out there or who has a great homemade recipe. Like it spicy but not super hot, like some horseraddish in it. Let me know what you got. Thanks!!!!!

I like Zing Zang...add a little Stoli, some dill pickle juice, a little horseradish, ice cubes, celery salt the rim, a little dash of salt and pepper, a squeeze of a lemon wedge, dash of tobasco, add a cheese stick, a meat stick, a dill pickle, a few green olives, a banana pepper, a celery stalk, mix all in a BIG old glass, and you have your entire brunch in one spot!

I like Zing Zang as well. If you like a full mix try Major Peppers with Absolute Peppar vodka. The peppered vodka gives it a good flavor.

Since I found out about Zing Zang I have not even wanted to try anything else!

zing zang makes a good base add from there ! qaulity vodka always make the bloody Imo

[OnAFly]

I like to mix 1/2-1/2 Major Peters Works with Zing Zang. Absolute Peppar is great vodka for Bloodies.

Celery salt rimmed, pepper, worchestershire, garlic stuffed olives, a celery stalk, and ice is what I'll throw in there.

Another vote for Zing Zang here.... I like to toss the refrigerator at a bloody mary after starting with the ZZ.

i dont think I could ever replicate some of my best concoctions. LOL

beefsticks, jalapenos, banana peppers, steak sauce, worchestshire, hot sauces(one of probably 20 in the fridge), pepper, seasoned salt, garlic, etc.... I cant even come close to covering everything I have tried. LOL

Basically whatever I find in the fridge, it has found its way to a bloody mary. Well, except for orange juice.

I've been a Major Peters and Zing Zang guy myself for a looooong time, but recently tried Mike Ditka's Kick A$$ Bloody Mary Mix. It's excellent. Definitely worth a try.

Nothing like a Bloody with a smoked venison stick, dill spear, and a couple blue cheese stuffed olives.

[JP Z]

Hair of the Dog is also a very good mix if you can find it.

[Jim Uran]

Zing Zang plus some hot sauce and your good to go

[ThunderLund78]

Agree with the Zing Zang as well.

Here's a great tip. If you ever get a Bloody Mary at restaurant or bar that's just not very good, A1 Sauce is the cure-all. It will thicken it if it's too watery and add a robust, tangy flavor if it's too boozy or bland.

I've even started to incorporate it into my Bloodys on-purpose in smaller doses.

Enjoy!

+8 for zing zang. An ice fishing and Thanksgiving staple for me.

What???? No love for the Clamato???

Like most of you guys I've tried everything on the shelf, but Clamato is my favorite. I also like Mr. & Mrs. T's bold and spicy, but I add a little bit of water and the normal amount of vodka (I don't like drinking something with tomato paste consistency )

I like to spice Clamato up a bit with some Frank's. Another must to make any bloody mary perfect is DUFFY'S SAUCE!!!!!!!! Unreal flavor in that little bottle! It is also about 50% salt, so you only need a splash.

We also add some pickled beans, as well as some bean juice. Some celery salt, a garlic stuffed olive, and a hard boiled egg and I am in Heaven!!!!!

Everyday after work I have a Bloody Mary with a Grain Belt chaser ( or 3 )

Clamato used to make a Bloody Caesar mix (which was Fantastic!!) but has since been discontinued

Bman

Did you ever get to try Beefamato juice? I havent seen it for years.

That was the bomb for bloodys back in the day!!!!!!

[Mid-Lake Rock]

Zing Zang is good, but the best I've had is Whiskey Willy's. Tough to find, but I have been able to get it at Big Top. I've converted a lot of people to Willy's mix.

To add flavor and thickness to any bloody mix, try some Pickapeppa sauce.

[SalmonSlayer]

+1 On the Absolute Peppar vodka. I won't drink a bloody with anything else.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I am going to have to try this Zing Zang, I love bloody mary's, normally i just go down the road to a bloody mary bar and have a few.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I can't believe I forgot to throw this one out, but Liberty's in Red Wing has a take home mix, $3, that has been the best I have ever tasted

[Wabamskee]

a good bloody needs at least 20 ingredients. first most obviously being vodka, but almost as important is the beef stick. if you cannot stir your breakfast with red meat...what's the point?

i cannot make a good bloody. i've tried time and again. i only trust one bar to make my bloody, and i buy one every time i drive through st peter. i also have their recipe, but cannot make it taste good.

[Hory]

don't forget the pickled asparagus along with the ever-popular meat stick, (sometimes I've substituted a cheese stick)

...and garlic stuffed olives, celery salt, pepper, a dab of hot sauce, a pickle,

The best breakfast one can have!
