Classic Bloody Mary

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The 'liquid meal' of cocktails. The secret of a Bloody Mary is the balance of umami (savoury meaty taste) and acidity. Tomato juice is rich in glutamic acid, which Worcestershire sauce and salt further enhance, while lemon and vodka 'cut' through this richness. A classic 'hair of the dog' drink, but also excellent as an aperitif.

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill the glass with ice.

Tip: Lots of ice melts slower, keeping the drink cold without quickly diluting it.
2 ✓

Pour the vodka and lemon juice over the ice.

Tip: The acidity of the lemon 'cooks' (denatures) the tomato juice proteins slightly, giving a fresher taste.
3 ✓

Season: Worcestershire, Tabasco, salt, pepper.

Tip: Adjust the spiciness at this point.
4 ✓

Top up with tomato juice.

Tip: Leave a little space at the top for stirring.
5 ✓

Stir with a long spoon, lifting from the bottom up.

Tip: This mixes the thick ingredients amongst the ice.
6 ✓

Garnish with the celery stick (which is also a 'snack') and lemon.

Tip: The crunch of celery provides contrast to the liquid drink.

Recipe FAQ

Why don't we shake a Bloody Mary?
Tomato juice tends to foam up and dilute too much from shaking. The 'roll' technique (pouring from one glass to another) or stirring gives a better texture.
