Tailgating tomorrow morning, very early, and figured Bloodys would be the best way to start. Anyone have a favorite recipe?
- open liter/half gallon of ketel one
- open preferred bloody mary mixer
- prep celery, olices, other veggies
- pour ketel one over ice in preferred vessel
- discard anything tomoato based while vodka is chilling
- open bottle of good qpr bubbles, pour in second vessel, add OJ
- drink mimosa and enjoy
- when in need of “kicker” – consume chilled ketel one
- enjoy game!
First, it’s a Bloody Maria. Vodka is just empty calories, Tequila is a sacrament and a tonic.
Use any 100% Agave blanco. Since I make these one at a time, you’ll have to extrapolate to get the quantity you need, but the ingredients are most important.
Fill a shaker half way with ice. Sprinkle in some celery salt, add horseradish, Tabasco, ground black pepper, and lemon juice. Add 1-2 oz’s of Tequila and stir. Add a 5.5 oz can of Tomato juice. Shake, pour over ice. Taste. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Since you’re tailgating, you will probably want to strain into a Thermos and bring some prepped celery along.
Once you’ve tried Tequila instead of Vodka, you’ll never go back and your head will feel better.
Here’s the one I went with, FYI.
- 4 cups chilled tomato juice
- 9 oz vodka (1 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
- 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 3/4 teaspoon Tabasco
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
Let the mix sit overnight and !
Pretty close to my recipe, Josh. I’ll add some smoked paprika and will do equal parts lemon and lime juice. Yummy!
Jeff,
Great tequila is my favorite sipping beverage. I tried Bloody Maria once, and I almost gagged…could not drink it. Not sure if it was the tomato juice with the tequila, but I could not pass go.
However, I do agree with you on good tequila. Rarely any bad results the next morning, and goes well with wine!
Sliger, very funny.
