Technically it's mostly fruit.

Technically, vegetables don't exist.

All joking aside, here's the Bloody Mary I drink at home.

CleverMary
1 cup tomato juice
2 oz. vodka
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce (I use Sriracha when I can find it, Secret Aardvark when I can't.)
1-2 teaspoons pickling liquid from a jar of pickled jalapenos (I get the spicy ones)
Dash or two of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, if needed
Ice

Shake all ingredients together, pour into a Tajin-rimmed pint glass (if you even bother to rim the glass. Sometimes I just sprinkle it over the top of the cocktail.) Then garnish with a celery stalk, and/or one of those whole pickled jalapenos from the jar I just opened, and serve.

Stop drinking vodka! Commit to an alcohol with strong flavor! (If your vodka has a strong flavor, you probably paid $10 or less for it.)

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a well-garnished drink. You "taste with your eyes first," after all. But there comes a point where I'm no longer buying a drink, I'm buying a whole meal and three appetizers, and all of them soggy. And I can't even reach the beverage I wanted in the first place until I've excavated it from beneath all of the lukewarm seafood, pickles, and salad.

When I make a Bloody Mary it has a few garnishes, but they all add to the flavor, and they're (nearly) all edible. A celery stick, a few banana pepper rings, a slice of lemon, and occasionally a few Mean Beans spicy pickled green beans.

12 . It's just American soy sauce. That's what you'll call it!

British soy sauce!

I feel this way about most cocktails nowadays but Bloody Marys are an exception still, for some reason. Still, I love a Gordon's Breakfast, so maybe I should start making my Bloodies with gin as well...

My man that ship has sailed. We agree, but that just isnt it, and its not going to be either.

Mannahnin's Blood Mary

• Pint glass
• Add a celery spear.
• Fill glass most of the way with ice.
• Dash or two of black pepper on the ice.
• Add a few oz of vodka to taste. A third of the way up the glass is probably good. Half or more if you're Firing For Effect.
• Add some spicy hot V-8 but don't fill it all the way. Leave a bit of space toward the top.
• Add a few banana pepper rings and a bit of the brine from the jar.
• Add a couple of dashes of Worcestershire.
• Add a couple of dashes of preferred hot sauce (I favor Frank's Red Hot, my brother prefers Cholula).
• Stir or roll the drink using another pint glass.
• Add a slice of fresh lemon.
• Top up with more V-8.
