The perfect Bloody Mary

Share your recipes here, you boozers.

Truth be said, the Bloody Mary is the king of the cocktails. A
true hair of the dog, though scientifically debunked, who cares
it is alcohol, right?

Go for it.

Budweiser! Role out the barrel. No girly drinks for me. 😉

Manhattan

Prechill the bourbon and the glasses in the fridge, so the ice doesn't water the drink down too much.

5 oz Bulleit or your favorite bourbon (150 ml)
1 oz sweet vermouth (30 ml)
1 oz dry vermouth
5 dashes Angostura bitters
2 - 3 lemon twists
no cherry
Ideally, use 1 extra large ice cube per glass -- can be made using small "dixie" cups.

Serve as many people as you like enough to share with.

Well-said. Also, V8 instead of lame regular tomato juice. Might as well get some vitamins while you're at it.

Vodka of choice? I know, a lot of people say Grey Goose, but come on, I'm on a budget here.

Yes. Tomato juice and Worcestershire sauce. I'd leave out the vodka ~ it spoils the taste ~ and drink it neat before or after instead.

2 oz vodka
8 oz cold tomato juice
Twist of lime
good sized splash of Worcestershire
Tabasco to taste
dash of salt
dash of celery salt
dash of black pepper
Mix well, pour into highball glass, add ice, garnish with a celery stalk

Hmm damn it takes an Irishman to make a decent drink around here. I kicks the flavor, like Stephen King writes horror.

So is a highball glass gonna hold 12 oz?

Drinking plain water is very healthy for you. Well done, sir!

That sounds great. Mine is slightly different but same idea.

Instead of a twist of lime, I squeeze the juice of a whole lime. The celery
salt is an awesome idea. Will try it next time. Another thing is that I use
a bit of maggi sauce and, oh yeah, I add beer. Yes, yes, I know, but don't
chastise me for not being a purist. I like the bitterness of beer in it. Needless
to say, I use one of those huge Big Gulp-like plastic soda recipients.

Otherwise, kudos to your awesome recipe, sir.

Salt n pepper? Really?
And why not a stick of celery? (You need something to stir it with!)

Only boundary is the length of the finger in question.
