Bloody Mary cocktail

In Folklore, Bloody Mary was the name of a witch who could tell you your future. Now, it's just a yummy drink, great as a pre-drinks drink, even better as a post-drinks drink. It's rich in vitamins! so it's great for a hangover cus it's got all the vitamins you need to replenish, or if you're feeling peckish on a hot day. Good for brunch too!

esp since tmw's a holiday, this is gona come in handy HAHA


Some love it, some hate it, so here's how you make a glass.

Ingredients:
  1. 150ml or a glass of Tomato juice
  2. lemon juice (squeeze 1/2 of a lemon)
  3. a pinch of salt
  4. a dash of ground black pepper
  5. 3 dashes of tabasco to make it spicy!
  6. 6 dashes of worcestershire sauce (i use Lee and Perin's sauce)
  7. 1 or 2 shots of vodka (to make it bloody, if not it's just a Virgin Mary)
  8. a stalk of celery

  1. Place a few ice cubes into a tall glass and add the vodka.
  2. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce and tomato juice. Stir well with the celery stalk ;) that way you don't have to wash an extra spoon.
  3. Adjust the seasoning, to taste, with salt and pepper and serve straightaway.

    I like to use celery as a garnish cus it's nice to munch on, the lightness of the celery contrasts the thickness of the tomato juice well ;) and i like extra tabasco for the extra punch. Girls would like this drink cus it has less carbs, calories, and sugar than normal sweet cocktails, and masks the sharpness of alcohol =)

    Other ideas: use beef jerky as garnish.


    To make a Jappie-Mary, aka wasab-Mary (whatsup mary) geddid.. uses wasabi instead of tabasco, sashimi soy sauce instead of salt, and add Mirin, rice wine. 

Cheers and enjoy!
