Bloody Mary

I do like a spicy Bloody Mary occasionally, and last night in front of the roaring fire, chatting to friends on FaceTime we sat down and enjoyed one of Brian’s Bloody Mary specials. It’s also a simple recipe to remember, as it’s two parts alcohol and four parts everything else;

2 parts vodka
4 parts tomato juice
4 good dashes of Worcestershire sauce
4 dashes of tabasco
4 ice cubes
juice of half a fresh lemon
good pinch of salt and pepper
optional celery stick for garnish

put it all together in a cocktail shaker and shake away, then serve.

We enjoyed it with some local cold meats, fresh baguette and cheese.
