Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jun 04 - 12:25 AM A sad reminder that since Rick's passing we haven't had any really superior recipe threads start up. Perhaps this will serve as a nice reminder of days gone by. (And sorry, I don't have a bloody mary recipe, but I can tell you how to make a rum and diet RC. . .) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 25 Jun 04 - 03:19 AM Take four - (full fist size) RIPE tomatoes from the garden.
Cut into eighths and place in blender with:
Blend until smooth with one cup cracked ice.
Pour over ice cubes into large pub 16 oz glass
Garnish with cracked black pepper and a full stick of celery with leaves at the top that has been rolled in celery seed.
Repeat - Four Times for a delightful session.
Celery can be store bought and cleaned/crisped the night before...however...the tomatoes MUST be FRESH from the immediate garden.
Sincerely,
Poor little GigglinGatita wanted so bad to grow tomatoes on her new Colorado landscape ... but she's been too sick to garden ... this recipe should get her out tending the sprouts and beans and things...and forget worrying about the wyoming wind she left behind. |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Jun 04 - 05:14 AM Wow think of all the vitamins in that! Do you think my doctor would approve? He's always saying I should eat more fruit and veg. Viva la Gargoyle Gargle. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jun 04 - 10:00 AM Skin and all in the blender, eh? You don't blanch them to remove the skin? (Some of the garden tomatoes here have a pretty durable exterior!) |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: SueB Date: 25 Jun 04 - 12:12 PM Bloody Shortcut: Use V-8 juice, the Hot & Spicy variety, skip the celery - what are you, a goldarned rabbit? - keep your vodka chilled, so you don't have to crowd your glass with ice, and don't forget the squeeze of fresh lime. Tabasco not necessary, worcestershire optional. Pepper soon forgotten. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Rapparee Date: 25 Jun 04 - 01:47 PM Use good vodka. I like a lemon wedge, V-8 and to add my own tabasco so I can control the zing. And NO ice -- chill your vodka and such first. Or... Drink a bunch of vodka. Drink a bunch of tomato juice. Jump up and down to mix. |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Wyrd Sister Date: 25 Jun 04 - 02:36 PM Ahh! one of daughter's ex-boyfriends was from the Deep South (well it's deep to us in Yorkshire - and across t'pond). At this time of year he used to have a pint of the best Bloody Mary I have ever tasted standing on the worktop for when I came home.... Oz, my middle child, if by any chance you are in touch with this, we think of you still.... |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Jun 04 - 02:44 PM I used to eat in a ristorante in Salerno in Italy, where they served a local Grappa. The bottle was kept in the freezer in a block of ice, and when thay poured it into a glass it frosted up to the level of the liquid. Now that's what you call keeping drink cool! Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: GUEST,Wotcha in Italia Date: 25 Jun 04 - 03:39 PM Aah Giok ... Limoncelle is what the locals call it here in Napoli ... just get the finest grain alcohol (or whatever has the highest octane), add fresh lemons, chuck in the fridge and serve whenever your pals show up ... Chin, chin, Brian |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: GUEST, TheBigPinkLad Date: 25 Jun 04 - 05:25 PM Worcestershire is pronounced "WUSS tuh shuh" or if that proves too difficult, "WUSS-tuh" will do ... or even Lee & Perrins, but no 'ch' please ;o) And of course, if you get the Bloody Mary right none of this applies. |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: DougR Date: 25 Jun 04 - 05:31 PM Vodka, V8 juice, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, squeeze of fresh lime, Celery salt, fresh ground pepper and a dash or two of hot sauce. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: GUEST Date: 25 Jun 04 - 05:57 PM Preferable to the celery stick garnish: pickled okra or (better yet) pickled stringbean (green bean). Contrary to someone's stated belief above, *some* hot sauce (Tabasco or cayenne) is absolutely mandatory. Doesn't have to be overwhelmiing, but there needs to be at least a hint of red pepper. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Rapparee Date: 25 Jun 04 - 08:08 PM Ah, Doug...the beef broth is a fine touch. As for celery sticks and so one, I just don't like things poking me in the eye when I drink. All the Best Authorities (i.e., Martha Stewart) say to keep your vodka in a block of ice. |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: John MacKenzie Date: 26 Jun 04 - 12:18 PM Martha herself is 'on ice' at this moment I believe! Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Bill D Date: 26 Jun 04 - 12:58 PM I have this memory of Art Thieme, 20+ years ago, suggesting a "Blood Clot" ... vodka, tomato juice and jello |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Jun 04 - 02:19 PM Skip the Tabasco -- and double up on the horseradish.THAT'S what makes it health food! A good Bloody Mary is a vehicle for horseradish. Regional aside (remember, I'm a New Englander now, in New Hampshah) -- in Milwaukee, if you order a bloody mary, you will almost always be given a small beer on the side -- ranging in size from a little mug the size of a shot glass to and almost full size pilsner glass (at The Chancery restaurant). The Chancery also makes sure the "plumage" on the bloody mary is almost a full meal -- pickle, scallion, pickled mushroom, olive and a miniature summer sausage. Geez, that and the included beer, I wonder why anyone bothers to order lunch! This isn't necessarily a plug for The Chancery (although I've had several nice lunches there while visiting the past coupla years), but just a travel note as to where I had the most elaborate bloody mary I've ever had. Here in Portsmouth, NH I've attended the Bloody Mary Festival several times and I'm mostly decidedly under-impressed with the offerings of various local bars and restaurants. One seemed to use barbecue sauce in the mix -- yuck! Too much Tabasco and you can't really taste the drink. And, well, you know I'm prejudiced towards enough GOOD horseradish in the mix. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Sorcha Date: 26 Jun 04 - 02:50 PM I use a kosher dill pickle (and some juice) and green olives instead of a celery stick. Gotta have the celery salt, tho. |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: GUEST Date: 26 Jun 04 - 02:59 PM Take a watermelon and cut a plug from the rind. Put a bottle of vodka to drain into the melon. This will take a good half hour. Put the plug back in the melon. Cut up the melon and eat it. Forget about the tomato juice. That's for the next day. If you eat more than a few slices of the melon, you will begin to swallow the seeds or spit them at your cat. If you swallow the seeds, you will get the runs. If you spit them at your cat, your cat will leave the room. If you do both, and you have to go quickly to the loo, be careful not to trip over your cat. |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Dante55 Date: 01 Jul 04 - 04:35 PM This is my personal favorite way to make a Bloody Mary A Good Vodka, Grey Goose, Absolute, Vox , Kettle One etc… V 8 Juice Worchester Sauce Horse Radish Lemon Juice Celery Salt Red Devil Either Large Green Olives or a Dill Pickle Spear, or Both. Fill the glass about ¾ the way with V 8 and then add a few dashes of Worchester Sauce. About ½ teaspoon or more of Horse Radish, a little bit of Lemon Juice about 3 or 4 little spills, then a couple of slashes of Red Devil. A Dash of Celery Salt, and then as much Vodka as you like. Add the pickle spear and the olives and there you go. I will make this in pitcher, so the amounts of the ingredients will be a lot more. Basically I make it to taste. Dante |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: GUEST,MMario Date: 01 Jul 04 - 04:44 PM I've never understood why people want to ruin the taste of tomato juice with vodka. (yes - I know it's supposedly tasteless - but it isn't to me...*shudder* tastes VILE) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: open mike Date: 02 Jul 04 - 01:30 AM my preference is a Bloody Maria....south-of-the-border-style with tomatoe juice..(hot and spicy V-8--or even better yet if you can get this hard to get kind--Dr. Swami and Bone Daddy's tomatoe juice bloody mary mix with chunks of veggies and fresh garlic and spices..yum yum) and Tequila..now there is the best combination!! It is best when made with Puerto Vallarta 100 % agave....ooh....ahhh! Maria is better than her sister Margarita!@ |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Gervase Date: 02 Jul 04 - 03:50 AM Bat Goddess is right about the horseradish - gives it extra oomph. A small measure of dry sherry also helps - nothing sweet, but a nice Fino or Amontillado gives more depth to the alcoholic part of the drink. Go easy though - BMs (and proper Martinis) are like breasts - one's not enough, and three are excessive! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Bat Goddess Date: 02 Jul 04 - 12:54 PM Dry sherry? Well, I'll try it sometime. Gervase, you're the only person I know besides Curmudgeon who quotes the line about martinis being like a woman's breasts. Almost forgot. One of the tastiest things I've discovered to stick on a spear in your Bloody Mary is pickled brussels sprouts. Take a package of frozen brussels sprouts (or par-boiled fresh ones) and dump them into the brine left over when you've finished a jar of dill pickles. Let them sit for a couple days. Place a few on a skewer and add them to your Bloody Mary. Nice nosh. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: bloody mary recipe From: Folkiedave Date: 02 Jul 04 - 07:35 PM Vegetarians might blanch at the use of Worcestershire Sauce (generally Lea and Perrins) since it often contains anchovies. I would hate for them to miss out on bloody marys so there is an alternative - one of Sheffield's finest products - Henderson's Relish. I can bore for Great Britain on the subject of Henderson's but in the meantime take a look at....: http://www.hendersonsrelish.com/content/relish.htm Best regards, Dave www.collectorsfolk.co.uk |
