The Bloody Mary is a classic and popular cocktail known for its tangy and salty taste. This step-by-step guide will help you create your own spicy version of this iconic cocktail.
Ingredients:
- 45 ml of vodka
- 90 ml of tomato juice
- 15 ml of lemon juice
- 2-3 drops of Worcestershire sauce
- 2-3 drops of Tabasco sauce
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 slice of lemon
- Ice
Instructions:
1. Start by filling a tall glass with ice. The ice not only keeps the drink cold, but also helps dilute the Bloody Mary's strong, spicy flavors. Be sure to use fresh ice for the best flavor.
2. Add the vodka to the glass. Vodka is the alcoholic base of Bloody Mary, and you can use whichever brand you prefer. However, a high quality vodka will give your drink a smoother, less alcoholic taste.
3. Then add tomato juice. Tomato juice is what gives Bloody Marys their characteristic color and salty taste. If you want a fresher taste, you can make your own tomato juice from fresh tomatoes.
4. Now it's time to add the lemon juice. The lemon juice gives the Bloody Mary a hint of acidity, which helps balance the saltiness of the tomato juice and the tangy flavor of the sauces.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce to the glass. These sauces give the Bloody Mary its tangy and salty flavor. If you like your drink extra spicy, feel free to add a few more drops.
6. Then add a pinch of salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to the glass. These spices further enhance the Bloody Mary's tangy flavor and add some depth to the beverage's flavor.
7. Now mix all the ingredients well. You can use a long spoon for this, or you can put a lid on the cup and shake it well. Make sure all the ingredients are mixed well so that every sip of your Bloody Mary tastes perfect.
8. Finally, garnish your Bloody Mary with a celery stick and a slice of lemon. The celery gives the drink a crunchy texture and a fresh taste, while the slice of lemon adds a touch of acidity and makes the drink seem even more appetizing.
And there you have it - your spicy Bloody Mary is ready to be enjoyed! Remember, the key to making a great Bloody Mary is balancing the flavors. If your drink is too salty, add more lemon juice. If it's too spicy, add more tomato juice. Give it a try and have fun creating your perfect Bloody Mary.
This cocktail is perfect for Sunday brunch, a birthday party, or any other special occasion. With its unique combination of spicy, salty and acidic flavors, the Bloody Mary is a drink that is sure to impress your guests.
