There’s something to be said about a perfectly made Bloody Mary. Whether you’re in it for the hangover cure, for the spice, or for brunch with friends, this Make-Ahead Bloody Mary recipe is simply perfection.
If you’re reading this, I’m betting you also love a good Bloody Mary. After years of tweaking this make-ahead Bloody Mary mix recipe, adding and removing ingredients, we are finally ready to share this gem: the best Bloody Mary concentrate mix recipe ever! Yes, I am aware that it looks a little nasty. 😛 Don’t knock it till you try it!
A few weeks ago we had friends over for a BBQ and of course we mixed them a beverage. We all agreed that it was the best Bloody Mary we’d ever had. It’s got wang, and twang, and a little zing. I like to spice it up further by adding extra horseradish.
Garnish your Bloody Mary with celery, olives, a slice of bacon, pickled okra, a pickle, a spicy green bean… anything you like.
This concentrate may look a little less than appetizing, but if you love a good Bloody Mary you have got to give it a try. My favorite part is that all you need is some tomato juice – and vodka, of course – and you’re ready to enjoy! You could always add more spice or a dash of hot sauce to taste.
Not Yet Bloody Mary Mix – a Spicy Make-Ahead Mix-in
With this Not Yet Bloody Mary Mix you make it in advance as a concentrate, then set it in the fridge to let it marinate. Forget about it until you’re ready for brunch! The longer it sits (we never have any left longer than a week, so I’m going with a one-week expiration date), the more delicious it becomes!
