Bloody Mary
Vodka and tomato, built like a salad. Morning drink that is really lunch.
A double of this one doubles the spirit. Mixer still fills. Open Double to see the pour.
The pour
One drink. Collins · 12–14 oz. Ice: cubes.
Vodka
2 oz
Tomato juice
4 oz
Lemon juice
½ oz
Worcestershire
3 dashes
Hot sauce
3 dashes
Celery bitters
2 dashes
How
- Rim optional. Ice in the glass. Vodka, tomato, lemon, sauces, a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Roll between tins or stir. Don't shake it pink unless you like foam.
Garnish
Celery, lemon wedge, whatever is in the fridge. Salt-pepper rim if they asked.
Tips
- Horseradish, pickle brine, olive brine — all fair. Start smaller than you think.
- Potato vodka (Chopin) has more body here.
The double
Double the vodka. Tomato still fills the glass. Same lemon and sauce unless they asked for meaner.
Highball rule: double the spirit, mixer fills, citrus stays unless they asked for sharper.
