30 Cocktails in 30 Days – Day 9: the Bloody Mary

Mr and Mrs Romance - Day 9 - The Bloody Mary cocktail recipe

Day 9 of our 30 Cocktails in 30 Days Challenge: the Bloody Mary

Mrs Romance and I have always agreed that this is a great cocktail. Especially as a drink to have on international flights. It’s the perfect combination of food (the tomato juice) and free alcohol… unless you’re flying on Royal Brunei Airlines, which are dry. They probably still serve tomato juice though!

The Bloody Mary is very tasty – though I hate celery – and the spice you get from the Tabasco is peppery and delicious. As I’ve mentioned, it’s a perfect flying drink but it’s also good for a Sunday sit-back-and-sip.

How to make the Bloody Mary

Mr and Mrs Romance - Day 9 - The Bloody Mary cocktail recipe

Here’s what you need:

For each drink

  • Single measure of vodka
  • 4 – 6 measures of tomato juice
  • Dash of Tabasco
  • Dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Ice
  • Jigger measure
  • Tumbler glass
  • Celery stick to garnish

Here’s what you do:

  1. Pour the vodka over the ice into the glass
  2. Top up with tomato juice – you don’t have to use the measurements above. If you want more tomato juice, you have more tomato juice!
  3. Sprinkle a dash of Tabasco – this stuff’s hot and peppery
  4. Sprinkle a further dash of Worcester sauce – I don’t like this much in a bloody Mary, so I leave this out.
  5. Season the drink with a crack of pepper and a pinch of salt
  6. Push the contents around the glass with the celery and drink up!

The Virgin Mary – the alcohol-free version – is just the same as the Bloody Mary without the vodka. Interestingly, you can get the bloody mary mixer on planes for free!
