Bloody Maria Spanish Bloody Mary Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 4 cups tomato juice, 2 tablespoons horseradish, 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, the juice of 1 lemon, a few shakes of hot sauce and some pepper in a pitcher. Stir in 1 cup tequila or mezcal and chill until ready to serve. Pour into six ice-filled glasses. Garnish with lemon wedges and/or celery sticks.

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, tequila, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until fully combined, then adjust the heat as desired. Pour into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with the celery stalks and skewers of beef jerky, pickled string beans, pickled carrots and pickled radishes.

Steps:

• Cut the celery in large dice, including the leaves, and puree in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely minced. In a large pitcher, combine the rest of the ingredients except the vodka. With the food processor running, pour 1/4 of the tomato juice mixture into the food processor through the feed tube. Then pour the contents of the food processor into the pitcher with the remaining tomato juice mixture. Add the vodka and chill. Serve in tall glasses over ice with a stick of celery.

Steps:

• Mix first eight ingredients in a 2-qt. pitcher; stir in horseradish if desired. Pour over ice; serve with jalapenos, cheese cubes and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, jalapenos, and fennel in a bowl. Season liberally with pepper, salt and the Worchestershire sauce. Coat with olive oil, tossing lightly. Put a few of the tomatoes in the blender and liquefy - this will make it easier to puree the rest of the solids. Add the fennel/tomato/jalapeno mixture to a blender and puree until liquefied. Store in refrigerator up to 6 hours until chilled.
• Hint: If you can find them, heirloom tomatoes can really boost the flavor of this drink. Heirloom tomatoes are typically varieties that were grown over 50 years ago, before tomatoes were bred for ease of picking and distribution. Heirlooms tend to be a little more acidic than modern commercial tomatoes, and often the fresh tomato flavor is more pronounced.
• Assembling the cocktail: Rub a cut lemon around the rim of a chilled martini glass. Dip the glass, upside down, in salt or your favorite spice rub. Slice the tip of a red jalapeno pepper vertically and slip over the rim. Place 1 or 2 of the jalapeno ice cubes in each glass, pour chilled bloody maria mixture on top, and top each glass with 1 ounce of lemon vodka. Stir carefully and serve.
• Hint: If you don't have lemon vodka, use regular vodka and squeeze a little lemon juice in each glass.
• Remove the tops and stems of the jalapenos and slice. Place the water in a blender and add the jalapenos, seeds and all. Add the lemon to the blender, peel and all. Add the basil, a pinch of salt, and some ground black pepper, to taste. Puree in the blender until everything is incorporated. Strain through a sieve and pour into ice cube trays and freeze overnight until solid.

Steps:

• Add ice to a cocktail shaker and top with the Homemade Mix and tequila. Place the top on the shaker and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.
• Fill a glass with ice. Strain the cocktail over the ice. Garnish with the celery, lemon wedge, olives and pepperoncini.
• Add the tomato juice, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to a large measuring cup and mix to evenly combine. The mix can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Combine all in a shaker with cracked ice, shake.
• Strain into an old fashion glass over ice cubes, garnish with slice of lime.

Steps:

• Shake above ingredients with ice and strain over ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass. (I like the rim of the glass rubbed with lemon and dipped in a little celery salt).
• Garnish with lemon, jalapeno, or a traditional stalk of celery.
