Last Friday’s Friday Feast (Bloody Mary’s Pork Medallions) spawned a flood of emails asking for our Bloody Mary mix recipe.
A confession is in order right up front – none of us are genuine mixologists. Most of us in fact share the misguided view that good libations are there to make great food taste better. So shoot me.
You’ve very well likely got a Blood Mary recipe that you like better, though here are two that have risen to the top of the Bloody Mary pool for us. Long time Chi Wulff friends know that we have a penchant for spicy foods with a southwestern flair – if you lean that way then try the Southwestern Bloody Mary mix (it’s outrageously good with the Pork Medallions from Friday).
Fresh ingredients, including / particularly the fresh squeezed lime / lemon, make all the different for these……
“Traditional” Bloody Mary
2 cups tomato juice
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs tabasco
1 tbs fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 tsp horseradish
1/2 tsp dill
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, fine ground
Vodka per your tastesSouthwestern Bloody Mary
3 cups tomato (or vegetable) juice
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
1.5 tbs minced fresh cilantro
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tsp finely minced canned chipotle chilies (check their heat)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sugar
Vodka per your tastes
Enjoy.

Double bueno.
Just for the hell of it, how much vodka are you putting in these recipes when mixing for a ‘lightweight’ crowd (brunch coming up with in-laws).
Our boozy friends say 1-2 ounces of Vodka per cup (8 ounces) of tomato juice. We usually just SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) it.
Just poking around CW and had a flash, you gotta cut me in though! ChiWulff cookbook! I’m telling ya, it’ll fly!
You can send my royalty checks to my paypal address!! Or, I will of course consider food and fishing trips!
She Who Must Be Obeyed has been pestering me about the cookbook idea for years. By the time you and she split the income, I probably won’t have enough to buy a beer. We’re working on it. We need to meet for some fishing when we get back home in a few months…..
Top shelf! Thanks for the recipe.
