Homemade Bloody Mary Mix
Make your Bloody Mary’s from scratch with this homemade Bloody Mary Mix – a combination of sweet and savory to get your morning started off right.
We are halfway through summer and I think we could all use a cocktail.
So far this summer has been incredibly good as it’s been filled with trips, fun days at the beach, amazing food, fresh vegetables, and whole lotta sunshine. Yet, it has been equally difficult as it is also filled with fighting kids and too many tantrums, constant chatter, and the boredom the comes with single parenting.
So whether we are toasting to great times or drinking away the summer slump, I suggest we whip up a batch of this Bloody Mary Mix and raise our glasses…
to summer!
Recommended Ingredients and Equipment
Similar to my fan-favorite Thai peanut sauce, I’m not sure I’ve made this mix the same way twice. Being highly flexible with the ingredients you have on hand, Bloody Mary mix requires just a handful of basic ingredients.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Salt – For the salty component, I have pickle juice, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and celery salt. I love the combination of these citrus/vinegar salty flavors.
- Acid – I use a mixture of apple cider vinegar and lime juice to give the mix its acidity. I like using both because the vinegar and citrus offer two different kinds of acidity for a fuller experience.
- Sweet – The sweetness comes primarily from the tomato juice with strikes the perfect balance between the other flavors.
- Heat – Heat counters the sweetness and acidity and gives the mix a nice finish. My favorite two heat options for this mix are horseradish and Tabasco sauce. Recommended Equipment
All you need for this recipe is a blender and a large airtight container, such as a 64-ounce mason jar. (<<affiliate links)
