Members notjonahbutnoah Posted November 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sometimes my girlfriend gets them with bourbon instead of vodka. Sounded like vomit to me at first too, but it's actually pretty good. Earthy. I need to do one of these Ceasars. So, the absolute staples are: clamato, worchestershsheyeeiersrs's, Tabasco, lime, celery, and a {celery} salted rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Trick Fall Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 One of the great joys of being childless and living in Manhattan was having extended Sunday brunches that included copius amounts of Bloody Marys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poolshark Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Most definitely would, but if we're talking breakfast-y drinks, it's still pretty low on the list. Give me Screwdrivers, Greyhounds or the odd Old Fashioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted November 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yes. Zing Zang is the only acceptable premade mixer. I love Zing Zang. Got some in the fridge right now. Though there are some other AWESOME premade mixers. Tabasco makes a few that are awesome. I've had other good ones too. There's a local one made here called Hoosier Mama, which is unbelievable. It's ridiculously thick so you need a LOT of booze, but once it's a nice consistency, look out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ItchyFingers Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Down here by good ole Mexico, we have Bloody Marias (sub out the vodka with tequila) and when made right they can be pretty tasty. Denver and San Diego peeps - do yourself a favor and check out the Bloody Mary's at Snooz restaurant. when I make em at home I use:IceVodkaClamato (didn't even know this was available, let alone popular in Canada!)HorseradishWorcestershirePickle JuiceS&PCelery if we have some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 12string Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 can't speak about bloody marys, but you need more than just tomato (clamato) juice, vodka and tabasco for a caesar or it'll suck. the seasoning on the rim is a huge part of the flavor, it needs a dash of lime juice, worcestershire sauce and celery for garnish (I sometimes like to use a pepperoni stick instead). you're probably doing it wrong. Probably. Have tried it a few more times. Still not digging it. So far it's been tomato juice, vodka, worcestershire, lemon, and various different tabasco-type hot sauces. I think what I don't like about it is the tomato, wishing I had horseradish too. Time to try again I suppose. Whoever mentioned it with gin may be on the right track, I always forget how much I hate vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Matt Gnarly Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 I need to do one of these Ceasars. So, the absolute staples are: clamato, worchestershsheyeeiersrs's, Tabasco, lime, celery, and a {celery} salted rim? Yep. Use the lime to rim the glass, salt the rim, toss some ice in the glass, throw a few shakes (2-4) of Tabasco and (4) Worcestershire, add the vodka then clamato then celery. I like to crack some black pepper on top and I'll change up the Tabasco for other hot sauce, add some lemon juice at the start, different garnish, etc. But the basic recipe is delicious as is.

Members LSDis4me Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hell no. Shouldn't drink in the morning, for one. And two, tomato juice is disgusting. Besides, it robs you of an opportunity for having a delicious fruity cocktail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Apple Slim Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Tomato juice belongs in ketchup and barbecue sauce. Its not a palatable drink IMO. And Clamato is gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NetStar Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Cheers, mate. Yeah it is. People love tomato and basil, I suppose. I've more compliments for that drink than any other cocktail I've created, which, from an ego standpoint is a bit frustrating because I rarely drink Bloody Marys. I've had so many rubbish ones, I tend not to bother. However, people do like them, so I put it all aside and made the best recipe I could do and they have lapped it up.

Members NetStar Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 I was skeptical to say the least when I heard we were going to do our Bloody Mary with Chase, but it really does come through in the drink. It tastes radically more full than the same mix with a grain vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
