What is an Bloody Mary cocktail?

A Bloody Mary is known as a 'morning after the night before' drink. It is a mix of tomato juice combined with vodka, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, hot sauce like Tabasco, and lemon juice.

The basic ingredients

Vodka: Grab your favourite unflavoured vodka. You are adding potent flavoured ingredients. Use the halfway decent stuff; you don't want to use your very expensive sipping vodka.

The basic ingredients

Tomato juice: Get good quality canned tomato cocktail juice. This is the base of your cocktail.  Lemon or lime juice: Fresh is the nicest, but if you don't have it, bottled works just as well.

The basic ingredients

Worcestershire Sauce: A unique flavour that will help pull everything together. Hot Sauce: Your favourite hot sauce to add a kick.  Salt and Pepper: As savoury as you like it.

The basic ingredients

Garnish: The sky is your limit, and you can let your creative juices flow. See what you have in the fridge. A celery stick, olives and capers, lemons, pickles or gherkins. A skewer with a bit of cheese and bacon. Fresh herbs that you have left over.
