Try this homemade Bloody Mary recipe made with vodka, tomato juice, celery salt, and lemon juice.
This is a fun drink recipe if you want to add a little sparkle to your weekend breakfast or brunch with a cocktail.
A friend of mine and myself cooked up this breakfast drink after a few trials and errors and were rather pleased with the results.
Making your own Bloody Mary is actually pretty easy and that way you can control the quality of ingredients and also make it to taste.
Some people like theirs quite spicy and others prefer more vegetables. You can practically create a salad if you want. One of the things we found out was the quality of the tomato juice made a lot of difference. I would personally recommend Sacramento Gold brand of tomato juice. It just seemed to have that deep, rich tomato flavor you are after in a drink like this.
