@sunshine45  Your mom sounds awesome... lol! My husband found out about Zing Zang from friends at work! I think they were right ... I actually do like that brand! And hubby loves olives ... load 'em up! 🤷‍♀️ 🫒 🫒

Wow, haven't had a bloody mary in probably close to twenty years. Back in my vodka drinking days my MIL and I could throw back some vodka martinis together. In both the martinis and in bloody marys she insisted on Smirnoff vodka...the one with the SILVER label. Had to be the silver label.

Gosh, I miss those days and my MIL. 😞

Take her to The Starboard in Dewey the next time if you don't have all the ingredients!

When I make a Bloody Mary I prefer to use Clamato clam flavored tomato juice with Absolut vodka, worcetershire sauce, Tabasco, salt and pepper and fresh lemon.  I have garnished with celery stick and a toothpick with canned clams on it.

My husband uses V-8 juice with Absolute, worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, salt and pepper and will put chili powder around the rim of the glass.  He likes them spicy!  He will garnish with a celery stalk and green olives.

@sunshine45 Everything you put in it is good for me too...

(though I've never made one at home)...

I do love Kettle One Vodka, and I'd add 3 big green olives and a stalk of celery.

Sounds yummy; hope your mom enjoyed! 🍹

There is a very nice restaurant right across the road from my neighborhood.  Before the pandemic they used to host a great brunch on Sunday that had a self serve bloody mary bar.  It had a nice selection of accompaniments but nothing too outlandish.  I myself preferred to partake of their mimosa bar.

I thought a bloody mary only had tomato juice and vodka. I didn't know it had other ingredients. 

For myself, I'd prefer a mimosa. Made either with champagne or sparkling wine and orange juice.

Perfect. All it needs is one shrimp hung over the rim of the glass and a couple of olives on a cocktail pick.

I used to always have V-8 in the house so I would just use that and put worcestershire, Tobasco,  celery salt, pepper and lime juice.  If I was planning ahead I would get Stonewall Kitchens Peppadew Sriracha mixer and not have to add anything except maybe a little lime juice. 

If I ever order one while out, I have to first ask to make sure they do not use Clamato.  I've returned a few drinks before I realized that's why some were unpalatable to me.

I use New Amsterdam vodka, zing zang, and celery salt.
