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.

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.

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!

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

Blegh!
