Bloody Mary

CRAZY EASY! Perfect for Sunday morning, or anytime. REALLY.

Bloody Marys can be dressed to the nines with about anything you have around, or stripped down to the simple version without all the extras. (Think tuxedo gala vs. cut-off shorts in a kiddie pool). Whichever way you choose to enjoy, always keep in mind that you're eating (drinking) healthy with all those vitamins from the tomato juice (triple points for any extra salad-type things you might add).

Ingredients and measurements are adjustable to your taste! This recipe is just the right amount of spicy, for me, but doesn't make me reach for the firehose.

Mix by the pitcher

1 Quart can of tomato juice

1 T Chachere's creole seasoning

1/2 small jigger lemon juice

1/4 T black pepper

1/2 small jigger worchestershire sauce

1/2 small jigger hot sauce

Stir well and chill! (Don't add ice, it will water it down!) Tastes best when chilled!

To serve, add 1-1/2 to 2 oz Gin or vodka (or whatever kinks your hose) to glass. Top off with your Bloody Mary mix. That's it!

You can take it from here; add celery, bacon, boiled egg, pickles, olives of any variety, cheese cubes, whatever you have laying around! But truthfully, it's not necessary, these taste amazing just as a simple beverage!

NOW get out to the front porch or indoor room with a view, sit in your cozy chair, and watch the world go by! As always, this pairs best with good conversation.

Mix by the glass

4oz tomato juice

2oz Gin/vodka/other

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp Chachere's creole seasoning

5 dashes hot souce

4 dashes of worchestershire sauce

Stir well! Sit all sophisticated-like and stare judgingly at others.

The Gary Busey

Old recipe. I'm certain I was a couple of drinks in when we created it, but I think it went a little something like this...

Fresh mint leaves, muddled
Gin
Ginger ale

As far as measurements? Generally speaking, use less alcohol than ginger ale, but do what feels good. That's what Gary Busey would do.

Gin Buck

I like Gin. I like bucks. (Not sure where this is going...)

Here.

Gin
Ginger ale
lime juice
mint leaves, muddled
simple syrup

Muddle that mint in the bottom of the glass. add some ice, then your gin and simple syrup. Top off with ginger ale. Add a splash of lime juice.

*Helpful tip Leave everything out on the counter because you will be back for a couple more before too long and getting everything back out is annoying.

Lemon Drop Martini

So good you'll want to keep 'em coming.

Don't.

Coming Soon-ish
