Bloody Mary Bar Louie Recipe Recipe 455

Steps:

• For the bloody Mary mix: Combine the tomato juice, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper in a large pitcher and stir to combine. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• For serving: Put some lemon and lime wedges in a bowl next to a shallow bowl of chile lime seasoning. Arrange the garnishes in small bowls or glasses for serving with a bowl or glass full of wooden skewers or toothpicks nearby. Fill an ice bucket or bowl with ice.
• Show your guests how to rub the rim of a large party cup with a wedge of lemon or lime and then dip it into the chile lime seasoning. Fill each cup with ice, add 1 cup of the bloody Mary mix and top with 2 ounces of vodka or tequila if desired. Stir well, then let your guests pick from the garnishes using the skewers or toothpicks for the smaller items.

Steps:

• In 20 ounce glass filled with ice, add vodka, Guinness, and Tabasco sauce. Fill with Bloody Mary Mix (7 ounces) Rim glass with celery salt. Garnish with celery stalk, blue cheese olive, salami and provolone. Another suggestion is to grate parmesan cheese on top.

Steps:

• Squeeze lemon and lime wedges into a shaker. Add all other ingredients except vodka, and stir. Taste the mix, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Put the mix in the fridge, and let it sit overnight.
• Pour vodka into the shaker. Add ice cubes, and shake.
• Fill an 8-ounce glass about halfway with ice, and strain the shaker contents over it.
• For garnish, I prefer a slice of seedless cucumber, also known as a hothouse or English cucumber, rather than celery. (This isn't a deal breaker, though.) Cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice of cucumber on the bias. Cut a slit in the slice, and place on the rim of the glass. Spear the pitted green olive with a toothpick, and stick it through the rind of the lemon wedge. Place the wedge on the rim of the glass. Crack a little freshly ground pepper on top.
