It’s no secret that I love a good Bloody Mary, but since my husband and I rarely drink in the mornings, I don’t have them very often. And I think the rarity of it makes them feel like an EXTRA special vacation drink, which makes me love them even more!
A couple years ago, I did a big series of Bloody Mary recipes here, and since we have a ton of new readers, I decided to make you guys a round up of all my favorites. I didn’t even remember a few of these… Haha!
Now make your shopping list and prepare to make the most epic weekend brunches EVER!
A Basil Bloody Mary
A Jalapeño Bloody Mary
A Sriracha Bloody Mary
A Blood Orange Bloody Mary (sounds weird but is SO delicious)
A Wasabi Bloody Mary (my husband’s favorite!)
A Carrot Bloody Maria (Fun fact – if there is carrot juice in a cocktail, I will ALWAYS order it!)
And for those who aren’t drinking alcohol, a Bloody Mary Mocktail (it tastes almost exactly the same and is one of my favorite drinks when I’m not consuming alcohol).
TGIF and I hope you guys have an amazing weekend!!! xx- Elsie

I used to work in a place that served BBQ Bloody Mary with bacon… I never knew cocktails can be so disguising.
The Blood Orange Bloody Mary sounds super delicious! I’m not a big fan of Bloody Marys since I rather like sweet cocktails, but I bet the one with the blood orange is fruity enough!

The one with carrot sounds good. I am going to have to give that a try!
I’m not a big Bloody Mary fan, but man do I love all the ridiculous and beautiful garnish. My husband usually orders them, so I’m able to at least see the fun and crazy variations at different places. I’m thinking I might be able to do that blood orange or basil one, though. Guess I’ll have to try them out and worst case scenario, my husband gets two (I don’t think he’d complain)!

I’m not a Bloody Mary fan, but all of these sounds so good! I’ll have to give them another chance!

I have no idea why I am so scared to try this! ahaha
In Canada, we have Ceasers and we use Clamato juice. We also mix it with beer. It is esentially the same idea, only Clamato has clam brine in it so it is saltier and a thinner drink than straight tomato juice. It sounds gross but it is a Canadian staple! I think more places in America are starting to carry Clam (for short)! I highly recommend it!
Oh My Goodness! You just spoke my language- I love Bloody Marys! Thanks so much for all of these recipes I can’t wait to try them!

Can you recommend a mix that you really like? I’m always trying new ones but haven’t found a great one yet! Thanks!
You and Jeremy are so cute! Love seeing the occasional pics of your families. I’d love to see the guys write a little music column, seems like you and Emma and Laura all have very musical husbands.
We’re playing wiht our schedule! 🙂

Of all the store bought mixes I like ZingZang. If you ever get a mix you don’t love, just add more garlic powder. :))

I would love to share more about his music sometime!

Allow me to recommend replacing the vodka with gin for all those gin lovers out there. I think it makes any bloody mary 10x better!
Looks so good. http://www.hannamarielei.com
The boot glasses! Please share the source!
I was thinking the same thing!
Your hair looks amazing with the layers!
ooooh the basil one sounds amazing, i could literally eat basil by the handful.

Ceasers are THE BEST. I’ve had some stellar ones made with Tequila and a crisp, cool one made with Gin with some cucumber. To die for!
As another Canadian has said above, I’m more used to Bloody Caesars which are essentially the same. But I would never have that for brunch in the morning……I prefer them as an aperitif before dinner or just when I have a drink with friends in the evenings.
Haha good idea! Thank you!
I agree Jenna! I am Canadian too and the Clamato Caesar is the way to go! I always add pickle juice!
