How to make a Bloody Mary

  • 1
    Prepare yourself 2 carefully selected mixing glasses from your cupboard, ensuring to brush off any excess dust beforehand. You will need 2 since we're going to be passing the ingredients from one to the other, although most likely with less elegance than the local cocktail waitress.
  • 2
    Add the vodka, along with the tomato juice – careful not to spill this down any of your scintillating white tops, both of the hot sauces, as well as the delicious Worcestershire sauce, with the lemon juice. Some people also like to add a touch of salt and pepper to their Bloody Mary to enhance its taste somewhat, however salt and pepper are not essential.

    Next you will need to carefully pour the mixture between your 2 mixing glasses. There is no need to be too violent in this process, since the mixtures will mix quite well, just make sure that they are well mixed. However, you find your own feet eventually, since some people will shake their mixtures with vigour, or slushed about lazily.

    After the second most enjoyable part, you will need to filter the beautiful mixture you have created into a highball glass filled with ice. It is important that you include this straining step, since your mixture can be a bit gloopy, and this will be certain to remove the thickest parts.

    As for the garnish, one can add just about anything – a Bloody Mary is not particular. People have been known to garnish Bloody Marys with such things as, carrots, celey, lemons, olives, even the common fungus, mushrooms, as well as meat or fish, but for starters, one should stick to those which sound marginally sane.

    Finally you can enjoy the most enjoyable part – drinking your perfect Bloody Mary!
