Recipe FAQ

Can this be made in advance?

Yup! This can be made ahead of time and stored for up to a week before you use it. The flavors will get a chance to meld more too, so feel free

Are there any recommended substitutions or additions?

As with most of our recipes, this Bloody Mary Mix is very customizable. Some additions I like are to add a few shots of pickle juice to the mix, extra hot sauce for more of a kick, and to add some pickled or candied jalapenos to the garnish assortment. Get creative!

How long can the leftovers be stored?

You can safely store any leftover mix in the fridge for up to a week. If you're going to keep it longer than a week, I'd recommend freezing it in ice cube trays and then putting those ice cubes in a big freezer baggie for the best results.

What are some common variations of the classic Bloody Mary?

Bloody Maria
A twist on the original, the Bloody Maria substitutes vodka with tequila for a Mexican-inspired version. Combine 2 ounces of tequila, 4 ounces of tomato juice, ½ ounce of lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and your favorite seasonings. Shake well, pour over ice, and garnish with lime wedges and a salted rim.

Bloody Caesar
Popular in Canada, the Bloody Caesar replaces tomato juice with Clamato juice, which is a blend of tomato juice and clam broth. Mix 2 ounces of vodka, 4 ounces of Clamato juice, a squeeze of lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and a sprinkle of celery salt. Serve over ice and garnish with a celery stalk and a lime wedge.

Bloody Maria Verde
This variation adds a fresh and vibrant twist to the Bloody Mary. In a blender, combine 2 ounces of blanco tequila, 4 ounces of green tomato juice, a handful of fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, jalapeño slices, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, pour over ice, and garnish with cilantro leaves and a lime wheel.

Bloody Bull
The Bloody Bull combines the flavors of a Bloody Mary with beefy richness. Mix 2 ounces of vodka, 4 ounces of tomato juice, 2 ounces of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and your preferred seasonings. Shake well, pour over ice, and garnish with a celery stalk and a beef jerky stick.
