The Secret To The Best Bloody Mary Ever

As you can see this Bloody Mary recipe is made with traditional ingredients such as tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lime, and vodka. But then this drink gets kicked up a notch with the addition of “secret ingredients”!

The first secret is that this recipe makes the cocktail with jalapeno-infused vodka. This is easily made by simply steeping sliced jalapeno peppers in vodka.

The extra kick of spice this lends to the cocktail is a wake-up call you’re going to love!

Pickle juice is the next secret ingredient! This brine adds a sour, salty flavor that tastes delicious once combined with the tomato juice in the cocktail.

The last touch on this recipe is to serve it in a highball glass with a celery salt-coated rim. This makes for an extra dose of savory goodness that keeps you sipping nonstop!

How To Make The Best Bloody Mary

1. Combine the vodka and sliced jalapenos and set them aside to steep.
2. In a small pitcher (these carafes are the perfect size), stir together the tomato juice, pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lime juice, and black pepper.
3. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and then place the pitcher in the fridge to allow the mixture to chill.
4. Place the celery salt onto a plate or shallow dish.
5. Rim each glass with a lime wedge and then dip it into the celery salt.
6. Fill the glasses halfway with ice and add sliced jalapenos.
7. Evenly divide the jalapeno-infused vodka between the two glasses.
8. Pour the bloody Mary mix over the top of the vodka and stir each one gently.
9. Garnish the drinks as desired. Then serve and enjoy!
