Bloody Marys

A classic Bloody Mary is made with vodka, tomato juice and flavorings like Worcestershire, Tabasco, horseradish, salt and celery. But like any other cocktail, there are dozens of variations of this savory brunch-time classic. Jean-Georges Vongerichten likes to use pureed Thai chile instead of Tabasco, which gives the drink a subtle sweetness and just a little heat. If you're not a fan of vodka, use tequila instead and make aBloody Margarita, complete with a lime wedge and salted rim. Whether you're a Bloody Mary traditionalist or are looking for a hangover cure, F&W's guide has dozens of recipes for this cocktail favorite.

Big-Batch Bloody Marys
You know what’s easier than a bloody mary bar? Preparing a big-batch mary that’s so good, your guests don’t have to do any DIY work. This crowd-pleasing mix starts with the toned-down tomato kick of V8, then gets a double smack of heat from zippy horseradish and hot sauce. Regular pickle juice adds a puckery sweet-and-sour touch, but we really love the extra heat from a jar of spicy pickles (Wickles is our current brand crush). Be sure to let the mix sit for a least a couple hours to let the flavors meld and mingle. Pints of the bloody mary mix paired with bottles of vodka make stellar gifts.
