I wanted to share a peak of what a Bloody Mary bar in my household looks like, in case you are ever looking to step up your weekend (or any day) brunch! In my opinion the classic recipe is best - made from scratch - full of all the essential ingredients for a good Bloody. Start with your favorite tomato juice - make sure it's a good one as it's the foundation for the drink and, no slacking on the Worcestershire, horseradish, or Tabasco! Throw in tons of lemon juice, black pepper, and of course the vodka of your choice before shaking in a mixer. Serve over ice and garnish with celery, a lemon wedge and bacon!
You can stop there or take it up a notch with a bacon salt rim. Let me tell you, it adds so much flavor and is so good! I definitely recommend giving it a go. If nothing else, it adds a nice extra touch to the look of your Bloody Mary! Up until the other day, I always had my bloodies with a naked rim, but after trying this bacon salt, I have a feeling that is about to change. It was so so tasty!
I'm sharing both the Bloody Mary Mix along with the bacon salt rim recipes below! Check them out, give them a try, and bring them to your next brunch. I promise they will be a hit! Enjoy!
