Traeger Homemade Bloody Mary Mix Recipe
A typical Bloody Mary is a popular alcoholic cocktail typically made with tomato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, and a mixture of spices, such as salt, pepper, horseradish, and hot sauce. The drink is usually served in a tall glass over ice, and garnished with ingredients such as celery, olives, lemon, or pickled vegetables.
For this recipe, we added a depth of flavor that is unmatched by traditional tomato juice by using our pellet grill to roast the tomatoes and garlic.
The flavor of this Traeger Bloody Mary Mix is savory, slightly spicy, and slightly sour, with the roasted tomatoes providing a base that is balanced by the umami in the beef broth and the heat from the spices and hot sauce. Often consumed for brunch, the Bloody Mary is known for its versatility, as the ingredients can be adjusted to individual tastes.
Overall, this Traeger Bloody Mary Mix makes a unique and flavorful cocktail, or base for a zesty tomato soup, flavoring for your next batch of Bloody Mary Buffalo Sauce, and so much more.

Ingredients
Bloody Mary Mix
- 4 large beefsteak tomatoes or larger tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1⁄8 tsp ground pepper
Bloody Mary
- Ice
- Vodka of choice (we like Tito's or Gray Goose)
- Garnish Options (pickles, olives, cheese cubes, celery sticks, green onions, etc.)
- Salt & pepper, for rim
Instructions
Make the mix
- Preheat the Traeger to 350°F, and line a sheet pan with foil.
- Gently wash the tomatoes and cut them into 1⁄2 inch thick slices. Arrange the tomato slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Peel and slice the garlic into large pieces.
- Arrange the garlic pieces around the tomato slices.
- Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil gently over the tomatoes. Place the baking sheet in the preheated grill (or oven) and roast for 15 minutes (or until tender).
- Crank the heat up to high (400-450°F). Cook for an additional couple minutes until the edges start to brown a bit.
- Remove from the grill.
- In a medium saucepan, add your roasted tomatoes and garlic, basil, broth, tomato sauce, hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, and the salt and pepper.
- Heat over medium heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- With an immersion blender, blend the tomato mixture until smooth. Pour into a container or jar.
- Chill before serving.
Assemble Bloody Mary:
- To make the bloody mary cocktail, fill a tall glass with ice. Add 2 ounces of vodka with 6 ounces of homemade roasted-garlic bloody mary mixer.
- Top with your favorite garnishes, such as green onions, pickles, dried meats, olives, cheese and limes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To prevent garlic from burning, make sure to not cut the garlic too small. This is why
pressing thick slices is best. - If you like thinner bloody mary mix, add additional broth during step 3 until you reach your desired consistency. Different tomato varieties will impact the amount of juices that are naturally produced.
- Storage: Store leftover bloody mary mix in a jar or airtight container.
- Refrigerate for up to one week.
- You may freeze the bloody mary mix in a freezer safe storage container or storage bag for up to 3 months.
- Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- Like your bloody mary spicy? Add some more spice by adding additional hot sauce or add some dried red pepper flake during simmering in step 3.
- This recipe is not adapted for safe canning practices. Please only store in the freezer for
long term use.
