Heirloom Bloody Mary

10 min • 1 servings •
Linda Andersson
A glass of Bloody Mary garnished with diced vegetables and a celery stick, placed on a kitchen counter with a cutting board and ice jar in the background.

To be honest with you I have never been a huge fan of the Bloody Mary but I loved the look of it so I started experimenting with the drink and I finally came up with one that I love!!

I have made it for many people and either you love this one or you hate it.

    • Recommendations

    The proportions are key. “You can’t throw a bunch of stuff in a glass and expect it to be the same every time. You really have to look at the drink as a recipe and take the time to do it right.
    During tomato season,use the best ripe tomatoes you can find. Out of season (during winter and spring) use Roma tomatoes.
    If you don’t have the time and energy to make the fresh tomato juice, It is OK to only use bottled or canned tomato juice. Just be sure to use juice that isn’t mucked up with a lot of sugar or salt.
