The Best Seasoning For Bloody Mary

By Miranda Sweeney


Everyone knows about Bloody Mary. This widely popular cocktail made of vodka and tomato juice is simple and complex at the same time. You can add so many different spices in there, and some are more common than others. For example, you can usually find Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and pepper in there, with some salt and celery, but some use more complex seasoning for Bloody Mary.

The most popular type is made with three parts of vodka, one part of lemon juice and six parts of your favorite tomato juice, with the addition of a dash of Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt and Tabasco. It is served in a long glass, filled with ice cubes and garnished with celery stalk, sometimes even with lemon wedge. It is tasty, refreshing and really interesting drink.

Although it contains alcohol, Bloody Mary is still reputed to cure the hangover. That's why it is often served with brunch. The real origin of this cocktail is unknown, but some say that it was originally made using half tomato juice and half vodka only. Even so, today it is popular to add different spices and other ingredients to this popular drink, to create new and interesting flavors.

Some people prefer adding beef consomme, or some other unusual flavors. Most people enjoy restaurant style cocktail. There are so many different spices you can experiment with, for example all types of pepper, different sauces, olives and aromatic salts. Even so, Worcestershire and Tabasco are the most popular ingredients, together with salt, pepper, lemon and horseradish.

It sounds easy, but you do need to have all these spices at home, and to add just the right amount of each, to achieve this special taste. Prefabricated seasoning mixtures and special mixtures of salts are something that will make your life easier. They will make sure you will achieve that special restaurant taste, and you just cannot make a mistake using them.

Classic mixture contains a blend of Worcestershire, black and red pepper, lemon juice, horseradish and garlic. You just need to add some tomato juice of your choice and your favorite vodka, stir it gently, add one celery stalk and serve your perfect cocktail in no time at all. There are also some other mixtures, containing chili peppers, or more horseradish, and you can choose depending on your personal taste.

Another good thing to have in your fridge are different rimming salts. Smoked sea salt, celery salt or some other tasty combinations are just great for adding in your Bloody Mary, or in your food. Rich taste and wonderful aroma will make a great difference. Buy small packages to start with, and a large one when you decide about your favorites.

Most mixtures are available in small packages or larger bottles. You can store them in your fridge for a long time. If you buy a small bag, once you open it, just put the content in a small bottle, for easier storage. All you need to do now is to buy your favorite vodka brand, a few bottles of good tomato juice and some celery stalks.
