The Perfect Bloody Mary

8 servings

This, by far, is the best Bloody Mary recipe, and it took me a couple years to perfect. There are a couple ingredients that are unexpected, but truly complete the flavor. Although Bloody Mary's are typically served spiked with vodka, this recipe is delicious on its own with no alcoholic spirit added. Perfect accompanied by a weekend brunch, followed up by a lazy afternoon. Through trial and error, I've found that this recipe should be made at least a couple hours before enjoying, and even up to a day in advance. This helps all of the ingredients to marry and blend itself into the best Bloody Mary you'll ever drink. Cheers!
