Bacon bloody Marys
- Share via
Serve this blody Mary mix with vodka or tequila (a bloody Maria), or combine it with beer for a michelada. It’s easy to put together — combine tomatoes with a bunch of flavorings and blend. The secret ingredient is blending in a few strips of crisp bacon, which gives the mix extra heft and richness.
Bacon bloody mary mix
In a blender, puree the tomatoes with the bacon, lemon juice, Worcestershire, chiles, garlic, hot sauce, horseradish, salt, pepper, celery salt, cayenne pepper (if using), ginger, olives and juice (this may need to be done in batches). Adjust seasonings and flavorings to taste. Refrigerate until needed; the mix tastes best made 1 day before using. This makes a generous 6 cups Bacon Bloody Mary Mix.
