Bloody Mary Recipe
Description
The Bloody Mary is made by combining Clamato (or tomato juice), vodka, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, celery salt, freshly ground black pepper, and hot sauce in a large pitcher. Whisked together and refrigerated for a couple of hours, the flavors develop depth and balance. Horseradish adds pungency, while celery salt provides a distinctive seasoning and savory saltiness. The hot sauce introduces heat adjustable to taste.
Served over ice in chilled collins glasses, each drink is garnished with a celery stalk which adds a crisp texture and fresh aroma to complement the savory cocktail. The recipe yields about 12 servings and works well for gatherings or brunch settings.
Leftover Bloody Mary mix should be kept refrigerated and used within 4 days to retain freshness. Clamato contributes an umami quality uncommon in plain tomato juice, but the recipe allows substitution if preferred. Vodka choices can vary, including pepper-infused types to add complexity.
Ingredients
- 48 ounces clamato or tomato juice (6 cups, see note 1)
- 2 cups vodka (see note 2)
- 4 ounces lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
- 1 ounce Worcestershire sauce
- 4 teaspoons horseradish prepared
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt (see note 3)
- 2 teaspoons black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce plus more, to taste
- 12 celery for garnish, ribs
Instructions
- In a large serving pitcher, whisk together Clamato, vodka, lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce, horseradish, celery salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Cover and refrigerate until flavors meld, about 2 hours.
- Stir bloody marys to recombine and serve over ice in chilled collins glasses. Garnish with a stalk of celery and anything else that sounds good.
Notes
- Store leftover Bloody Mary mix in the refrigerator up to 4 days to maintain flavor.
- Clamato adds umami flavor; use tomato juice if you prefer a more straightforward base.
- Choose your preferred vodka; high-end vodka is not necessary since the tomato blend dominates.
- Celery salt can be homemade from celery leaves or store-bought; it enhances the cocktail's savory notes.
