Bloody Mary Recipes

Ok guys, I'm trying to look to the future here. I'm trying to figure out what drink to make for next weekends tailgate. I usually just stick with beer but thinking with the early kickoff maybe something different. It's getting a little cooler out so I'm thinking maybe Bloody Mary. What's everyone's favorite Bloody Mary recipe? Or if you've got another drink that you prefer for cooler, earlier tailgates lets hear it.

I'm tried and true and even after last weeks loss I'll be there when the lots open ready for another football game and hopefully a well played victory.

Too lazy to make them from scratch, but my favorite mix is Famous Dave's.

Ben Jack Laredo makes the best mix I've ever had.

I like zing zang, but then I add some hot sauce, worchestershire sauce, celery salt, cavender's greek seasoning, a dash of A1, and garnish with whatever pickled vegetable I have on hand. Asparagus and garlic stuffed olives are great, but expensive so I rarely have them around. Pickle spear is always legit.

The wife only likes them with Absolut Peppar. But she's like that.

Always spicy and make sure to add a slash of orange juice. Don't knock it until youv'e tried it.
