A Bloody Mary, the BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS, is often called a cocktail. However, the way most people make them, they are more like a meal.

There are several thousand recipes for this drink online, and there are several different ways to make the drink. This is my version.

Hangover?

Bloody Marys do not help with hangovers. The old "hair of the dog" thing is bunk. It's just a case of drinking yourself buzzed enough to forget that you have a hangover.

However, tomatoes contain the electrolytes sodium and potassium, the antioxidant vitamin C, and a whole host of vitamins, such as lycopene and vitamins B6. Vitamin B6, in particular, is one of the few remedies to have been shown to reduce the effects of a hangover. Other tomato components, such as carotenoids, have also been studied for their medicinal effects.

In summary: the non-booze ingredients of a Bloody Mary deliver up electrolytes, water, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6, all of which might help with a hangover. Vodka, not so much.

Ingredients

  • One 12 ounce bottle of V8 vegetable juice
  • Juice of one lemon
  • Juice of two limes
  • Two tablespoons of prepared horseradish
  • Two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
  • One tablespoon of garlic powder
  • One tablespoon of celery salt
  • One tablespoon of black pepper
  • Two tablespoons of olive juice (use the salty, cheap Spanish olives)
  • One tablespoon of dill pickle juice
  • Two tablespoons of Frank's Red Hot©

Method

Blend all of the above ingredients for a bit, mostly to chop up the horseradish fine. Add to a pitcher or large bottle and put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

When it is time to consume, add one and one half ounces of vodka to a large tumbler glass and top with ice. Then fill the glass with the bloody mary mix. Stir well.

Garnish?

It is traditional to add a stalk of celery or a dill pickle spear to the side of the glass to garnish. I think this is silly. The only thing you need to add to a Bloody Mary is a straw so that when you drink it, the ice doesn't fuck with your teeth and you dont get a tomato juice mustache on your upper lip. Suck it.

They add so much crap to the cocktail that it's impossible to drink.
WTF?
As a shrimp cocktail/drink, this is acceptable.
