UV Blue Morning Bloody Mary Recipe

Developed as part of the UV Vodka Challenge.

Listen Now:

Greg was given four UV Vodka flavors and tasked with creating a unique bloody Mary recipe for each
Of all the UV Vodka flavors I was challenged with, I knew the UV Blue Raspberry was going to be the most challenging. This is not a flavor one normally thinks of when crafting a bloody Mary.

I could try to shoehorn this tasty berry flavor into a conventional bloody Mary. Maybe with enough spice I could “bury the berry.” Nope, instead I decided to celebrate the berry. I went to work creating a light refreshing cocktail suitable for a day out sailing. I balanced the savory properties of Sacramento tomato juice with the fresh bold flavors of grapefruit, orange, lemon, and lime and added a dash of green tea. It was fabulous….

Ingredients:

3 Ounces Sacramento Tomato Juice
2 Ounces UV Blue Raspberry Vodka
Splash of Green Tea
1/4 wedge each; Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon, and Lime
6 to 10 Fresh Raspberries
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

Instructions:

In a stout pint glass, muddle the raspberries
Squeeze in Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon, and Lime
Add cayenne pepper to taste
Add tomato juice and UV Blue vodka
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, pour in mixture
Shake vigorously
Pour back into pint glass and float green tea over top and serve.

UV Vodka Sriracha Blood Shot Recipe

Developed as part of the UV Vodka Challenge. Greg was given four UV Vodka flavors and tasked with creating a unique bloody Mary recipe for each

I started out with the idea that I’d make a conventional bloody Mary with some chili garlic kick. I always start by tasting the ingredients individually.

The UV Sriracha Vodka had a complex flavor profile all on its own. Chili was the first to hit, followed by a hint of garlic and hot spice. I knew I wouldn’t need to add much to get where I wanted to go.

With all that chili flavor I immediately thought of lime. I took another taste and chased it with a bite of fresh lime. Delicious. A light went on. I poured a half shot of the UV Sriracha, squeezed fresh lime and topped with Sacramento tomato juice. Down the hatch! Amazing! I downed a few more. Yep, it’s amazing.

UV Lemonade Bloody Radler Recipe

Developed as part of the UV Vodka Challenge. Greg was given four UV Vodka flavors and tasked with creating a unique bloody Mary recipe for each

Listen Now:

UV Lemonade – Here’s where it started to get weird. Lemonade is not exactly the flavor most think of when mixing a bloody. However, fresh lemon is one of my favorite bloody Mary ingredients, and I’ve been leaning toward a lighter, more juicy bloody Mary this summer. No problem. After two tries I had a great mix!

After smelling and tasting the UV Lemonade I started thinking of the popular German drink, the Radler. A mix of lemonade and beer, this summer favorite allows Germans to drink throughout a hot summer day without all the effects of a full strength beer.

I went to work making a light refreshing summertime bloody Mary recipe. Doubling down on an already fresh taste, I added fresh squeezed lemon. I love fresh cracked pepper with lemon. I gave a few turns of the old mill….

UV Lemonade Bloody Radler Recipe

Ingredients:
3 Ounces Sacramento Tomato Juice
2 Ounces UV Lemonade Vodka
1 Ounce Beer (Wheat Beer Recommended)
Pinch of Cracked Pepper

Instructions:
Fill a pint glass with ice
Add UV Lemonade Vodka
Slowly pour Tomato Juice
Float Beer on top
Crack Pepper over top and serve*

*Serve unstirred for presentation. Stir before drinking

Dilljito Recipe

Perfect Summer Bloody Mary With Dill

A recent trip to the farmer’s market landed an overwhelming fragrant bunch of dill. I’m a huge fan of the smell of it. Dill means summer. Summer means drinks on the patio. (As do spring, fall, and sometimes winter)

Why should rum and mint have all the fun? Let’s muddle some dill and make a dilljito!

Dragon’s Breath Bloody Mary

Tomatillo and Green Chile Bloody Mary Recipe

Craving a little extra flavor from your bloody Mary? Try this amazing recipe formulated for a recent Two Cow Garage house concert.

In addition to the traditional bloody Mary recipe, I wanted to offer something truly unique and truly satisfying. I’d been experimenting with tomatillos, green chilis, and a few other traditional Mexican ingredients. These little green Mexican tomatoes add a tangy citrus dimension to a drink or dish. It took a few runs to get it just right, but the final product was a big hit. I have subsequently ordered a few more gallons of crushed tomatillos.

Don’t bother making an individual drink-go for at least a pitcher. As Ernest Hemingway said, “anything less is worthless!”

15 oz crushed tomatillos
15 oz Clamato juice
6 to 8 oz Patron Silver tequila
6 oz canned green chilies
4 TBSP prepared horseradish
2 oz Worcestershire sauce
1 TBSP celery salt
4 fresh limes
1 TBSP cracked pepper
2 TBSP Tabasco Sauce
Fresh cilantro to taste

Add all ingredients except Patron silver tequila and limes to a large pitcher, mixing bowl, or blender. Blend until consistency is homogeneous. For a thinner mix, add more Clamato. Squeeze limes into the mix and stir. Refrigerate for an hour or two before serving. Pour over ice, add spirits of choice and mix thoroughly ** Do not add vodka or tequila until serving.

Garnish with your favorite snacks and serve with an ice cold beer chaser while listening to “American Static,” by Two Cow Garage. You’ll feel high as a Goddamned kite.
