The Ultimate Bloody Mary

[kjgmh]

I have had a urge for the perfect bloody mary lately and everytime I order one at a restaruant it just does not cut it. I am looking mix up my own in hopes of find the ultimate bloody. Anyone have a recipe that they would like to share?

Maybe Dietz can chime in on this one. I was at The Peppercorn in Bemidji just a few weeks ago and had a couple very tasty Mary's! Even got the big green olive and pickle on a spear, at's a nice!

I dont know what Mix the Peppercorn goes with? I'll have to ask, next time the MIL calls. I do know my personal fave.. I have tried to make my own and cant come close to this mix...

Look up "Finest Call Loaded Bloody Mary Mix" I serve it to friends and they cant get enough of it either.

Jimalm ~ This one sounds awesome! Makes me thirsty reading it...

Although homemade is always best IMO, if you're looking for another brand name mix, Jero and Major Peters are tasty ones. I like to 'customize' mine and add garlic(which is great on everything), worchester, celery salt, onion powder, pepper and a pickle and celery stick. Lastly, don't forget to add celery salt to the rim of the glass-a lime/lemon works best for this, and one can squeeze a few extra drops into the mix if you like.

ZING ZANG is by far the best store mix I have tasted otherwise my buddy Polly frog's mix is the best that I have had 1 Part Jero jalapeno

1 Part Clamato

Splash of pickle juice

Dash of celery salt

couple of good splashes of Worcestershire

same with smoked Tabasco sauce

top with smoked beer stick,pickel,string cheese stick,pickled green bean or shrimp.

[Ebiz]

Adding a dash or two of A-1 to any storebought or homemade mix is also good.

[DonBo]

Can't believe I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, cause the perfect Bloody has GOT to have a splash of O.J.

I bought some in Rochester last weekend. Don't remember the name of the store but I will try to find out.

Nytelytr,

In your first post you said you can't keep the stuff on the shelves when referring to Zing Zang's, if you have a store it sounds like there are quite a few mail orders waiting to happen here on the site, unless you just meant your shelfs at home. I think I hear the sound of opportunity knocking here, LOL !

[Nate McVey]

Have to agree with Zing Zang's............but, I did and infusion once with garlic cloves, black pepper, lemon, lime, pearl onion, jalapenos, pickles, horseradish root and green and red peppers (for color in the jar). I let it soak for 2 weeks in a cool, dark closet.....then I pulled out the veggies and replaced with 1/2 the amount of fresh (just for presentation). I would then just rim a glass with celery salt, add the vodka, V8, olive, pickle, lemon, pepper jack cheese and a slim jim..........had people come from far and wide for one of those. That was probably one of the best infusions I had that year.

[Tippman]

It was one of the Andy's liquor stores in Rochester Deitz

[Deitz Dittrich]

Guess what followed me home tonight on my way home from work?... I found Zing Zang at a local place up here... BRAVO to all those who recomended it... Good stuff.

What an awesome HSOforum, get the best outdoor advice, and then great advice on winding down in the eve as well.. You guys rock!

[bassNspear]

Dietz, try this.

ZING ZANG

Chef Secret

Worch

Jalepno Pickel Juice

Dont go falling in love with it.

[Whoaru99]

The Zing Zang must be something new to the area.

I hadn't heard of it before and figured surely that I'd have to get some in the city down the road a piece.

However, the distibutor must have made a swing down Hwy 12 recently because it's on the shelf here in town and also is some of the even smaller towns along the way.

Grabbed a bottle and agree it's pretty good stuff.

[Jim Almquist]

I found some Zing Zang and agree that major peters and clamato might be history. Dang that stuff is good with a little pickle juice and olive juice,onion powder,garlic powder and a couple of shakes on the Tabasco bottle.

[MNbrewer44]

Can't give you a recipe but I can tell you Dehls in lacross has to the best bloddy mary I have ever had. Also using pepper vodka will make any bloody mary mix test better. The only company I know of that makes pepper vodka is absloute. Kinda pricy but well worth it for Bloodys.

[Whoaru99]

Second one I mixed up got doctored just a bit. Was going to add a few drops of hot sauce but for some reason it came out in a stream.

Suffice to say it was a tad "snappy", but couldn't waste it.

[DIRTY BIKER]

Mcbees on ann lake off HWY 47 marinates there vodka with all kind's of good stuff for three weeks for there Bloodys and they are excellent!
