Red Wine Bloody Mary Recipe

Red Wine Bloody Mary

I’ve always been a bloody Mary in the morning and red wine in the afternoon kind of gal. On the weekends, the mornings can magically turn to afternoon while I’m not looking. As a younger lush, I never felt right opening a bottle of Cabernet before 5pm. Now, well into my 40’s, cab’ time has crept up earlier and earlier. Alas wine time and bloody Mary time have eclipsed each other.

Enter: The Red Wine Bloody Mary– As many of my readers know, my taste in bloody Mary’s vary from fresh and crisp to bold and savory. Likewise, my wine choices run from the nice fresh Pinot grigio on the patio, to a bold zinfandel in front of the warm glow of my television. (I’m classy like that)
The red wine bloody Mary falls squarely into the bolder, more savory drink category. The twist of fresh lemon juice does give it a nice lip-smacking fresh quality, but from then on it’s a satisfying, full-bodied drink that affords the luxury of drinking wine early in the morning, while maintaining a, “she’s ok. I mean, it’s not like she’s drinking wine in the morning,” appearance. I like to think of that celery stalk as camouflage.

This drink is a great solution to that quarter-of-a-bottle-of-wine-leftover-from-last-night problem too.

So let’s get to it ladies. Whether you’re transitioning from brunch into happy hour, or just got a late start on breakfast, try this red wine bloody Mary recipe and start being colorful and witty long before your unsuspecting friends have opened a bottle.

Gather up the following ingredients;

Good Vodka. Mmm, vodka!
Clamato juice (tomato juice will work, but Clamato is less thick and more savory)
Fresh lemon
Red wine (I’ve used Cabernet and zinfandel)
Fresh cracked black pepper
Tabasco sauce
Celery salt
Worcestershire sauce
Celery stalk
Olive
ice

Directions: Fill a large cocktail shaker with ice. Crack black pepper over the ice, then coat it with Worcestershire. (About a tablespoon) Add an ounce of vodka, an ounce of red wine, and a dash of Tabasco. Now top the drink with Clamato and shake. Rim a large glass with celery salt and pour the red wine bloody Mary into it. Oh, how I love the sound that makes!

Squeeze the fresh lemon over the top, give another turn of black pepper, and garnish with a stalk of celery and an olive or three.

Repeat as needed (PRN)

Perfect Spicy Bloody Mary Recipe

Here’s a perfect balance of savory flavor with plenty of heat to help you sweat out that hangover. Any ham-handed bartender can simply dump a pool of Tabasco sauce into tomato juice, vodka, and Worcestershire sauce and call it a spicy bloody Mary recipe. Let’s do better.

This recipe will give a rich and complex spice without bruising the tongue with too much salt or other seasonings. Obviously, any bloody Mary mix can be tweaked to an individual’s taste. Most spices found in mixes come from cayenne pepper. That’s fine. Cayenne gives a nice tip-of-the-tongue heat. It’s a good start. We’re going to take your taste buds for more of a ride than that though. The Big Fat Spicy Bloody Mary Recipe starts at the tip, works its way back the tongue, and then hits the sinuses. Got your attention? Good!Lets on this 3 stage burn. Cayenne wil be stage one, jalapeño stage two, and fresh wasabi stage 3.

*The cornerstone of this recipe is a jalapeño pepper infused vodka. Keep it on hand at all times. Simply drop one or two jalapeño peppers into a bottle of vodka and let it sit for a week. (If it lasts 2 weeks, remove the peppers before they get bitter.) The heat is all back of the tongue.

Be sure you have an ice cold beer to chase this spicy bloody Mary down with.

Bloody Molly | Whisky Bloody Mary Recipe

Bloody Molly Irish Cocktail

Don’t wait for St. Patrick’s day for this Irish cocktail treat. While it may not sound like a delicious savory variation of the traditional bloody Mary recipe, the Bloody Molly is exactly that! As one might expect, vodka has no place in this drink. Irish whiskey gives the drink a unique and flavorful dimension. Even people who normally do not care for Irish whiskey find this Irish cocktail to be quite tasty. (Try it- it won’t bite!)

Gather the following ingredients and crack a Guinness Stout:

Irish Cocktail Recipe:
2 Ounces Jameson Irish Whiskey
6 oz. fresh tomato juice
Large lemon wedge
tsp of freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp celery salt
Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Thick sliced bacon strip (cooked)

Pour all Irish cocktail ingredients except bacon and lemon wedge over an ice filled pint glass. Squeeze lemon wedge into a cocktail shaker, then pour mixture into shaker and, you guessed it, shake! Rim a chilled glass with remaining lemon wedge, celery salt, and cracked pepper. Pour the ice-cold Irish cocktail into the rimmed glass. Crack a bit more black pepper over the top of the drink. Garnish with bacon strip or two and serve with your favorite Irish beer.

For an added treat, try rimming the glass with Demitri’s Bacon Rim Salt– Yum!

Cheers!

Elvis Presley Bloody Mary Recipe

Elvis Presley Cocktail Recipe

Queen of Cocktails Meets the King of Rock and Roll

Elvis Presley cocktail recipe- a convergence of forces. Memphis Tennessee in the mid 1950’s. The blues & gospel, Country western and hillbilly, blacks and whites: they all came together to give birth to rock and roll music. The man through which all of these energies flowed, and electrified the world was the King- Elvis Presley.

Thirty five years after his passing, the world remembers the legend of Elvis Presley. In celebration of the convergence and joining of styles and people, I present the Elvis Presley Cocktail. The queen of cocktails, Bloody Mary, meets the King of Rock and roll- Elvis!

Elvis had an appetite for life. he also had an appetite for delicious food and drink. This Elvis Presley cocktail is a blending of some of the King’s favorites.

Start out with a nice Tennessee whiskey. That’s right, whiskey! A few days in advance, cut up a banana and place in a one quart Mason jar, along with a handful of roasted peanuts in the shell. Fill the jar with whiskey, cover and let sit for three to five days.

Pour two ounces of infused whiskey. Top off with tomato juice and shake vigorously. Pour into a large glass and garnish with cooked bacon, pickle, and a banana slice. Serve with a Pepsi-cola chaser. Mmm, that’s alright Mama!

Bloody Mary Martini – A Recipe

Bloody Mary Martini (Dirty Mary)

The Bloody Mary Martini is a bloody martini recipe of sorts. I created it one evening when I felt a bit too full for a complete Bloody Mary, but craved the rich goodness of all that flavor.

This bloody Mary martini recipe, or Dirty Mary, as my friends have come to call her, is an excellent evening cocktail. It offers all the spicy and savory flavors of a bloody Mary, but presents in a more sophisticated manner. It’s delicious, less filling, but quite potent!

Like any good bloody Mary martini, it starts by chilling a martini glass. Fill it with ice and water while you mix the drink.

Pour bacon infused vodka over peppered ice cubes, but any good quality vodka will do. Add a dash of Worcestershire, a pinch of cayenne, and an ounce of Clamato shaken profusely and strained into a martini glass rimmed with Parmesan and celery salt. Garnish with a roll of honey smoked ham. Feel free to let your artistic side go wild with garnish ideas. In fact, I’d love to hear your ideas on the Bloody Mary Recipe Forum.

The Bloody Martini also works well with gin substituted for vodka, if you’re partial to gin, that is. If you’re not a fan of Clamato juice cocktail, try using V-8 juice cocktail for a fresh flavor.

Cheers!
