Bloody Mary Recipe

A Bloody Mary for New Year’s Day …

 

or, as I like to think of it, New Year’s Day brunch.

 

Because, when it comes down to it, this Bloody Mary recipe is one part mixed drink and two parts meal. Or is that three? Let’s count:

Bloody Mary

(one) asparagus speer; (two) bacon slice; and (three) and (four) blue cheese stuffed olives.

 

That sounds like a delicious New Year’s Day brunch to me. Washed down by a spicy Bloody Mary with Guinness Ale and horseradish and celery salt.

 

Yum.

 

You could also call this a New Year’s Day hair of the dog.

 

But I still like to call it New Year’s brunch.

  6. This is one heck of a bloody mary recipe! I agree with you, lets call it a liquid brunch with those garnishes!

  10. Wondering if should even comment, we’re such old people. Hubs can’t drink due to high blood pressure meds and me for Paxil. Looks like we’ll be missing all the fun.
    Don’t do much for New Years either. I’d love to go to movie, get snack then home but who knows what hubs will want to do. If there’s even a movie we’d want to see. No sorry not Star Wars, not a fan.
    Can you believe there’s a theater in Grand Junction that checks women’s purses to be sure not bringing in outside snacks. Don’t check guys pockets but do purses of female customers. Read about it in paper while back, people pretty darned up in arms. Have to figure out what I could wear to hide snacks from Family Dollar. Refuse to pay so much at theater.
    What does your family do? One thing about living out further is doesn’t seem worth while to drive into town just for movie, can stay home to be comfy, eat whatever we want.
    Hmmmm, sure smells good in our kitchen, hubs making Polska kilbasa stew, so yummy for supper tonight. Good for two meals at l;east.
    Have great New Years.

  12. We had bloodies for Christmas Day and I may make them again for New Years Eve. We use a friends recipe that is quite involved, but I’m adding bacon to the recipe and wondering why I didn’t think of that? Maybe even bleu cheese stuffed olives? The one we have can only get better right? We use most of your included ingredients, and for the vokda – Absolut Peppar. Cheers.
