The real man's Bloody Mary
 

The real man's Bloody Mary:
Ingredients: vodka, tomato juice, Tobasco, Worcestershire
sauce, A-1 steak sauce, ice, salt, pepper, celery.

Fill a large tumbler with vodka.
Throw all the other ingredients away.

I'll have to remember that next time I'm working Sunday lunch in the pub!
It's a fairly common hangover drink here. Either that or Guinness - the age-old advertising slogan Guinness is Good for You definitely had legs.

I'm doing the evening shift today (Board Meeting at my other job at 14.00) and am off to my parents next week. Still, at least it means I miss the uber-tempting complimentary cheese and biscuits. And the free Sunday Roast at the end of the shift. Except we have a buffet lunch for the Board of course...

Stop trying to feed me! Everyone's an enabler, sheesh.

a girl's gotta eat mate. ;)

I bartended for a few years when computer consulting gigs were in short supply. I make a really good bloody Mary with the ingredients included. :)

I guess by your definition, it's not too manly, but it's a lot more tasty.

I thought a Bloody Mary was just another vehicle, like cocktail sauce, for good horseradish.
:confused:

Paprika Measure:
2 dashes == 1smidgen
2 smidgens == 1 pinch
3 pinches == 1 soupcon
2 soupcons == 2 much paprika

Bloody Mary

1.5 oz Vodka (6 counts)

1 dash - Worcestershire

1 dash - Tobasco

1 dash - Black Pepper

1 dash - Celery Salt

1 dash - Lemon Juice

1/4 teaspoon horseradish

Clamato Juice

2 - Olives

Lime wedge

Celery


Collins glass filled halfway with ice, pour Vodka, add all ingredients with Clamato last. Fill the glass with a half inch of space at the top and stir it up. Add olives & celery. Wipe the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and put on the rim of the glass.

I have never heard of horseradish in a Bloody Mary!
I'll have to ask Grandad if it's an American thing. He was a cocktail waiter during and after the war, and towards the end of the war he mostly served Americans because they were the ones with the money for cocktails!

"real men drink vodka neat." = complete macho bullshit.

Real men, don't drink vodka.:p

I know it sounds strange, but just a tiny bit of it is incredibly good. I had never heard of using Clamato until a few years ago. Then I tried it and found out it's fantastic. It originally started at the Bull & Finch Pub in Boston (aka The real "Cheers" bar). They won contests year after year for making the best Bloody Mary then someone finally revealed that they added clam juice.

If I'm ever doing a morning party or something, I mix up a couple of gallons of Bloody Mary mix from scratch. Then all I've got to do is add Vodka.

I loves me a good spicy bloody mary.

And then of course there is this!:

*sigh of relief* I thought you were going to give us the used tampon recipe.

I never forgave my late friend for giving me a glass of Clamato straight.

Blegh!
