Make Your Own Bloody Mary Bar

For the longest time I just didn’t get the Bloody Mary fascination that seems to run rampant among my family and friends. A few years ago though I finally tasted one that I deemed tolerable. From there it became my personal mission to figure out the best way to mix and sip a Bloody Mary so that I too would “get it.” Now, get it I definitely do. In our town the classic Bloody Mary is a New Year’s Day staple, served up at bars and restaurants all over town. That said, I also love the idea of treating family and friends to brunch this holiday season complete with a make your own Bloody Mary bar. That’s where Andrea, Samantha and Jade and Matthew come in today! They created this amazing Bloody Mary bar to help inspire a little holiday cheer at your next brunch.

Set up a table or sideboard loaded with all the ingredients for the ultimate Bloody Mary and invite guests to help themselves. A variety of juices, liquor, veggies, Tabasco sauce and garnishes will allow guests to mix their drink to suit their own taste. For a bit of extra fun, consider playing with different kinds of ice, too. Think ice made with Tabaso or celery leaf for an extra punch of flavor!
