Although basic components of every good Bloody Mary are tomato juice and vodka, this widely known cocktail would never become so popular without other flavorings and spices that it contains. The most common ones are Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt, horseradish and lemon juice, and, of course, inevitable celery stalk. Good mixture of these components makes perfect seasoning for Bloody Mary.
The most popular type is made with three parts of vodka, one part of lemon juice and six parts of your favorite tomato juice, with the addition of a dash of Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt and Tabasco. It is served in a long glass, filled with ice cubes and garnished with celery stalk, sometimes even with lemon wedge. It is tasty, refreshing and really interesting drink.
Because so many people believe that it will cure their hangover, this cocktail is very popular. It does contain water, electrolytes and anti-oxidants, and could help you with this problem, but alcohol is not so effective in curing hangovers. It is not really clear how and when it was invented, but the story tells that it was originally made with equal parts of vodka and tomato juice. Other components were added later on.
Beef consomme can also be added in some versions, although these aren't so popular as the original one. Red, black and cayenne pepper, olives, Tabasco and piri piri sauce are more common ingredients. You can use regular sea salt or special brands, but restaurant style Bloody Mary is always a good choice, especially if you want to serve it to your friends.
For preparing one perfect Bloody Mary at home you will have to have all fresh and good quality ingredients. The problem is only to use the right amount of each of these components. It is funny to experiment, but if you want to make things easier and to make sure your cocktail will be absolutely perfect, you can buy one of prefabricated mixtures. This way you just cannot do anything wrong. Aromatic salts are also available.
Classic mixture contains a blend of Worcestershire, black and red pepper, lemon juice, horseradish and garlic. You just need to add some tomato juice of your choice and your favorite vodka, stir it gently, add one celery stalk and serve your perfect cocktail in no time at all. There are also some other mixtures, containing chili peppers, or more horseradish, and you can choose depending on your personal taste.
Rimming salts are very useful in every kitchen, and not only for seasoning your favorite drink. Add some in your food, and you will be more than satisfied with the result. Pepper salt, celery salt, smoked sea salt, all are really aromatic and add interesting aroma and taste.
Most mixtures are available in small packages or larger bottles. You can store them in your fridge for a long time. If you buy a small bag, once you open it, just put the content in a small bottle, for easier storage. All you need to do now is to buy your favorite vodka brand, a few bottles of good tomato juice and some celery stalks.
