30+ Out-Of-The-Box Bloody Mary Cocktail Recipes For Your Brunch Dates


Virgin Mary Recipe

The Bloody Mary is a blank canvas of sorts for drinks. It is essentially made of tomato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and spices. There are no definite measurements - no need to use the jigger. Just throw in the basic ingredients that make it a Bloody Mary and experiment on the garnish and other ingredients to make it unique. This is the best thing about the Bloody Mary - no rules. Well, except that you avoid it as an evening drink. The concoction can do wonders to your digestion. You know what we mean. 

The Bloody Mary is a serendipitous recipe popularly known to be created by Fernand Petiot from tomato juice and vodka in the 1920s. This drink was inspired by the Russian immigrants in Paris who needed some drink that would somehow tie them to their origin, hence, the vodka. Petiot, an American bartender at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, had no idea that the drink would make it big in the cocktail world. For a time, there has been a dispute as to who really created the cocktail as one George Jessel claimed to have created it, complete with the story as to for whom he named the cocktail. 

When Petiot moved to New York City to work at the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel, the managers thought the name was a bit gory and decided to call it Red Snapper instead. However, the name did not stick. It turned out that it was the goriest name that made the drink.

The drink itself, however, did not captivate the New Yorkers because it was too calm for the patrons needing some kick. Petiot turned the notch up by experimenting until he came up with what is known now as the American classic, spiced with Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, Tabasco, spices and salt. Despite earlier disputes as to who created it, the classic, as we know of today, though, had no doubt been perfected by Petiot.

Over the years, the Bloody Mary has seen more varied than it ever intended. Now, when people ask for a Bloody Mary, they are not only asking for a drink, they are asking for a meal. To accommodate all the ingredients you want to throw into the cocktail, the standard glass is a pint glass, wide enough for the bevy of garnishing you’ll add.

        Basil Hayden Bloody Mary 

        Wasabi powder takes this Bloody Mary into a new level. And this uses bourbon instead of vodka so expect a duller red Bloody Mary for this one.

        Garnish: 

        • Celery stalk, lime wedge and blue cheese-stuffed olives
        • Lime wedge
        • Blue cheese-stuffed olives
        Instruction to make:
        1. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a pint glass and coat with celery salt.
        2. Fill with ice and add 2 dashes of celery salt and the remaining ingredients except the tomato juice.
        3. Fill with tomato juice and stir well.
        4. Garnish with a celery stalk, lime wedge and blue cheese-stuffed olives.
