Some people say the trick to creating a perfect Bloody Mary rests in the type of vodka you use. Well those people clearly have more money than I do. Because even though I’d like to, I can’t exactly afford to use Grey Goose whenever I please. Sometimes a girl’s only choice is the $10.99 Country Club vodka at Walgreens. So I say the trick to creating a perfect Bloody Mary is all in the garnish. The more the merrier.
Garnishes I’ve Had:
Bacon
Jerky
Shrimp
Cheese
Olives
Pickle
Celery
Lemon
Lime
Peppers
Jalapenos
Pickled Asparagus
Pickled Egg (Only had this once Wisconsin.)
Slice of cold pizza (Served this way at Home Slice.)
Yes, I’m a aware I’m a fat kid. What can I say? I like to think of my Bloody Mary as an appetizer.
What I actually put in the drink:
Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix
(I’ve made Bloody’s from scratch before using tomato juice but I realized that’s just silly when there’s so many amazing mixes available. And because I’m lazy.)
Worcester
Horse Radish
Lime Juice
Tabasco
Olive Juice
Celery Salt
Pepper
Shot of beer
I don’t measure anything. It’s all to taste. And sometimes I’m more ambitious than others with using all of these ingredients. It usually depends on the hangover. But there you have it, that’s just a few things that I like to add to make the “perfect Bloody Mary.”
And now to switch gears entirely, I was lucky enough to be a part of an awesome group of girls who have teamed up to offer one lucky winner $250 to Graphic Image. This store has quickly become my go-to for amazing leather accessories. I own a monogramed bag tag and a beautiful blue clutch. I was hoping to show a photo of my clutch today but my sweet nephew Knox hid the purse from me over the weekend while I was in Nebraska so it’s being shipped to me… More stories on that trip tomorrow…
Anyway, do yourself a favor and enter this giveaway!
Graphic Image is giving away $250 to spend on their website! Graphic Image makes some of the cutest leather products such as calendars, planners, journals, iPad cases and iPhone cases. They also just released their amazing selection of spring colors that I’m sure you will be drooling over! To enter to win, complete the entries using the Rafflecopter widget below. The more entries you complete, the more chances you will have to win the $250 gift card! The giveaway will be open to all U.S. residents through March 7 at 12:00am CST. Good luck and thanks for entering!
I could use one of the passport holders!
Love the passport holder as well!
Loveeeee bloody Mary's! Not sure how I feel about putting tobacco in though….I've tried Tabasco though and that seems good 😉
ahhh good catch I'm an idiot! hahaha thank you, fixing now. lol.
I consider myself a bloody mary connoisseur- however, I got so burnt out on Zing Zang. Oh – you might like this. Bangers and Lace has a meat and potato bloody mary – it's interesting! Comes with jerky.
Love the bright leather envelopes
I love the nylon totes!
a shot of beer, interesting.
WAIT……………………….. they sell vodka at your Walgreens? brb moving to Chicago.
Agreed!
I love the Hampton Travel Totes!
I love the glasses and camera cases…much cuter than the ugly cheap-o ones I currently use 🙂
Oh oh! A new datebook for work, iPad case, new picture frames! Cute stuff!
ive recently been having a love affair with all things leather, this would be great!
I am not a bloody Mary fan but these do sound pretty great!
of course this would be the recipe found on your blog ha!
Zing Zang is the best! Now I want a Bloody Mary and it's only Monday!!!!
Zing Zang is my fave! I was out at the beach this weekend and had some of the best Bloodys ever! I'm going to HAVE TO find out which olives they used because not only were they huge and very giving of them when I begged for extra but they were so incredibly yummy!!
I read the title and yelled "Yessss please!" Clearly, I have bloodys on my mind.
I don't like bloodys, but I love those totes on graphic image!
So many good things! I like the jewelry roll and of course the monogrammed planners.
I saw that photo on Instagram this weekend and we (my two friends and I) drooled over that drink. 🙂
I assume you're going home for this? 😉

Really liking the embossed python iPhone case.

I really like the crocodile leather coaters. What doesn't need leather coasters?
