  1. I started using pepperoncini juice for Bloody Marys recently when I was out of other “normal” ingredients. It packs a fun little punch! Can’t wait to try your version. Here was my Instagram post on my “what I had in my cupboard” version. https://instagram.com/p/mBg9ACGd40/#

  3. It looks great! Here in Canada, we have a similar drink called a Caesar – it’s made with Clamato juice instead of tomato juice and the spicier, the better!

  5. Oh, I love me a good Bloody Mary. All this looks really good. Try switching out the tomato juice with tomato sauce–the vodka won’t thin it down quite so much. Super thick and spicy, with all these ingredients!

  6. Great idea for mothers day coming up, cannot wait to try the shrimp garnish. One thing I suggest for everyone to try is adding a splash of A-1, something a bartender showed me some years back. It just adds a little more depth of flavor.

  8. I had a few too many foo foo drinks last night in celebration of Valentine’s/Presidents Day. This looks amazing to try this morning. Just shared it on FB. I don’t have tomato juice, so I’m going to do what Sally suggested with the tomato sauce. The shrimp idea is amazing. TY for sharing.

  9. We go on a family reunion camping trip every year and one of the traditions is a bloody Mary…or two…or three 😉 with breakfast. The old geezers use Mrs. T’S premade mixer. I have been making it from scratch for a few years now. So much better than the store bought mixers! This year I’m making this one to take. Sounds so tasty 🙂

  12. Yummy
    Also added a little OJ and Siracha to add a little spice. We will be blending in a little tomato pasted to thicken and add color – but this recipe is brilliant

  13. Try using Clamato instead of Tomato juice. Adds great flavor.

  14. This is so. Freaking. Good.

    Rimming with Old Bay is the most brilliant move ever. I love this so much.

  16. Nice touch on the pepperoncini and delish recipe. When I’m in a pinch I use LAVA all natural bloody mary mix. Gluten free so great for my celiac and no high fructose corn syrup or preservatives which is great for IBS. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!

  17. I love a great Bloody Mary. To me they are like the lobster of drinks. And especially when the top of glass is garnished with a salt or celery salt or Old Bay…It must be freshly made (none of that premix stuff for me! I sometimes use clamato juice, V-8, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. Yours looks to die for!! Can’t wait to try making it and pray it turns out delicious!!!!!! I’ll probably skip the shrimp and horse radish, but feel good that it will just as tasty!!! I’ve been hunting for the best recipe as this is a favorite of mine and I believe I found it!!! Will keep you posted when I make them!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!!!!

  19. Great recipe! I also used Clamato juice. I also infused my vodka with pepperoncini peppers. The fresh horseradish is must!

  20. Here in S. Fla, we have Camaronazo which is like Clamato, but instead of clams, it is made with shrimp. It comes in a regular, lime, or spicy.

  21. This recipe is the best. Everyone raves about how good it is.

  22. I’m going to make this in the morning while I cook Thanksgiving dinner. I’m wanting to make it ahead of time, like in a pitcher. How would you suggest doing the ingredients? Hopefully that will work.
