Alright, my darlings, gather ‘round and listen up, because I’m about to share with you the one family secret I swore I’d take to my grave—Granny’s Bloody Mary recipe. This sacred elixir has been passed down through generations (or at least made up one Sunday morning when great granny needed assistance). Either way, it’s the best Bloody Mary you’ll ever have, and that’s a promise!
The Magic Ingredients:
-
3 cups tomato juice
-
3 tbsp lemon juice
-
3 tbsp lime juice
-
3 tsp pickle juice (equivalent to 1 tbsp)
-
1 ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 ½ tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp olive juice
-
¾ tsp hot sauce
-
¾ tsp celery salt
- ½ tsp pepper
How to Work Your Magic:
-
Mix all these heavenly ingredients together in a big pitcher. You want all those flavors to mingle like a good church potluck.
-
Let it sit in the fridge for a bit. Patience, my dear ones! A Bloody Mary is like a fine romance; it needs time to develop. Don’t drink after 5 days otherwise the mix can make you sick.
-
When you’re ready to serve, pour over ice in a tall glass and add your favorite vodka (or skip it if you’re feeling saintly—this still tastes divine on its own).
-
Garnish like you mean it! Celery stalk, pickles, olives, lemon wedge, maybe even a pretzel or two if you’re feeling extra frisky (we like the Chili Lime ones)
-
Sip and savor, knowing you’re now in possession of one of Granny’s finest creations.
Now, my loves, don’t go ruining this recipe with anything silly, like store-bought Bloody Mary mix. Granny didn’t raise no fool! Enjoy responsibly, and enjoy with Granny’s pretzels.
With love,
Granny
