Bloody Mary
About This Course
A Bloody Mary is a savory cocktail made with vodka, tomato juice, and a blend of spices and flavor enhancers—typically including Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, celery salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Served over ice in a tall glass, it’s garnished with a celery stalk, lemon wedge, and often additional accoutrements like olives, pickles, or even bacon. Known for its bold, umami-packed profile, the Bloody Mary is popular as a brunch staple and reputed “hair of the dog” remedy.
