Its MSG
Zesty V8 + Worcestershire, lemon/lime, horseradish if you like. No hot sauce needed. I like the veggie flavors in the V8 and its spiciness. Quick and perfect, at lealst at our house.
I have to have Celery Salt.
The garnish is the fun. Thanks Ashley.
Celery salt, lime in addition to the lemon, black pepper, and cocktail onions as a garnish are a must in our house
you should specify exact measurements for ALL items.
The ferry line probably uses river water in their bloody Marys, that’s why they’re so good 😉 😂🤣.
the ferry comment makes sense. clam juice is mandatory. and a little dash of sweet isnt the worst thing. celery salt should definitely be offered.
Ashley, where is the clan juice? Not that I like it because I don’t. But it seems so traditional up north when I had a bloody Mary before. This is my absolute favorite drinks and I don’t wait for breakfast! I can have a bloody Mary 24/7/365
Definitely celery salt! One of my favorite drinks also garnished with a slim Jim, celery stalk and dill pickle . I do prefer Caesars better now after having them from a Canadian trip years ago. 😋
Ashley- You are SO funny!
Sorry, but that looks bland AF
So fun! The love the creative garnishes.
A little dill pickle juice!
Why such a large spoon??? Looks delicious though!!
Ashley, love you, how about a segment featuring the Jalatini (Jalapeno Martini)?
I like to add some liquified ortega green chilies for a broader spice flavor than just tabasco.
Americans, with their poor man's Caesar 😂🤣
Yum
That desperately cries for some celery salt!!
Did I miss something? You said a 2 to 1 ratio of tomato juice to vodka & then you mixed 6 cups tomato juice & 2 cups vodka…
I make mine using lime juice. Then with celery salt and garlic salt. As far as garnishes I love marinated green beans, stuffed olives and a pepper. ❤️❤️❤️ I don’t believe I’ve ever made the same one twice.
Usually make my own but if you've never tried Nantucket bottled mix (got in New England), it's the best and I'm a connoisseur of bloodies.
Just say "Wooster" sauce. That's how everyone in England says it. No need to try and pronounce the whole word and sound drunk! 😉
My favorite vacation breakfast is a full English and a BM.
I would be very disappointed if I were to hear you do not absolutely love your work
Alcohol EVAPORATES.
If you add the night before and then keep uncovered overnight, you WILL have a MILDER drink.
But I also had this impression that part of Bloody Mary’s attraction,served properly, was that the vodka was carefully poured over the wall of the glass to remain on top of tomato… (?) Am I off my rocker?

The name of the drink is so powerful.😀
much prefer bloody caesers extra spicy! made like this but no lemon juice and a touch of either dill pickle juice or olive juice..its a Canuck thing, try a shake of lowrys seasning in it
I also hit mine with some balsamic vinegar.
Whenever I see Ashley I know whatever is coming up is gonna be good!
Omg. The best Bloody Marys are at Muriel’s in New Orleans. Every Bloody Mary I have is held to their standard. But, Ashley, I will give your recipe a shot. You rarely steer me wrong. Ps. Muriels’s pecan pie is to die for. – Nora ( living in Washington State)
What brand of liquor do you guys use?
2 Sips Up!

Celery seed.
My favorite adds a splash of the pickle juice. Olive brine sounds delicious too
Friends that don't drink alcohol? You should introduce them to a good Bloody Mary 😉
Bloody Marys, the official morning drink of classy alcoholics everywhere.
You published a Bloody Mary recipe on a Wednesday knowing that this is a Sunday drink? That's torture! Now I'm jonesin' for Bloody Mary have 4 day to wait….not fair. PS – Don't forgot celery salt.
I like to flavour mine by making Caesars instead…..
yes was gonna say too I need the celery salt for sure.
Celery salt!
At least on the rim
I love the make ahead plan for the next MORNING!!!!!!!!
Looks so yummy ! Now I have to plan brunch for some friends – Warrine
Celery salt for sure
Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe!! 🙋♀️🇧🇷
The alcohol should never be added to this mix. I am one who must drink virgin ones. You didn’t even allow for that. Shame on you.
Clamato is the secret ingredient that you missed….and a stalk of fresh celery in the drink when served
A small amount of soy sauce is my secret ingredient. Adds nice umami and saltiness.
