Bloody Mary/Bloody Caesar Recipe

[rapunzel]

I'm hosting the Skunky Family Thanksgiving this year. Unfortunately, Uncle Vic (City Park Skunkape) won't be coming to make his famous Bloody Marys. Cousin Craig (Saskatchewan Ape) won't be around to make the Bloody Caesars (but I do have the recipe for his Egg Nog Boat Drink-yum!). When I asked CP Skunky for his recipe he replied in typical New Orleans fashion -- ahh, you go into the kitchen and you get you a little of the tomato juice or what have you, and you get you a jar of salsa, the kind on the second shelf in the middle at Dorignac's, then you dump it in the Cuisinart and blend it and then taste and see what it needs and you fix it from there. :roll:

So, can anyone help me out with a good tomato juice-based recipe and save Skunky Thanksgiving? Come on BR, I'm counting on you....

ok my brother makes some great bloody mary's i'll try to get his recipe, however he uses tobasco bloody mary mix. not sure if you want to use a mix or not?
these are the ingredients

tobasco bloody mary mix
vodka
sea salt/ black pepper from grinder
lemon (fresh)
lime (fresh)
horseradish (not the sauce)
Worcestershire sauce
pickled okra (hot or mild) i like the hot

pretty much just mix all of these together to your taste preference, I wouldn't use more than 1/2 tsp. of horseradish.

My husband makes wonderful Bloody Mary's. He uses Major Peters spicy mix. Adds worstershire sauce, lemon juice, pepper, Three Olives vodka. Yummy!

GEE, I kinda like his method. Always seemed to work for me!!!

PS Remember when it was Schwegmann's?

I don't think it's the ingredients or the mix that matter. It's getting the right proportions and you can only determine that by taking a sip, adding a little of this, taking another sip, adding a little of that. This is why the person making the Bloody Mary's always has a smile on his face -- he/she's amazed that he was able to find the right balance AGAIN, and he/she's wasted!

I want to come to the Skunk Family Thanksgiving! I bet it will be fabulous with Rapunzel cooking it.

I have a feeling I might need to give her a side of xanax.

...I was just wondering how bloody this holiday could be! Gobble Gobble! If it makes anyone feel better, I have a vegetarian coming to my table for Thanksgiving.

WTH?! "What do you mean you don't eat meat?!" "That's ok, I'll make you lamb." Remember that from My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I still love that movie....they all sound like Toots & FFF's family gatherings!

Zing Zang is my favorite bloody mary mix, I think that is what the Red Bar makes their bloody mary's with. We add a dash of pickle juice...it is delicious. Be sure and put a salad on top!

You know, I've never been able to replicate those Marys we made for Steeplechase that time. Maybe you should come help me.

Oh, and I'm totally cheating and buying most of the stuff from Cowgirl Kitchen. I'm doing turkey and dressing and Griffin style pumpkin bread. And gravy for JDarg. Perhaps a red velvet cake if I feel like being stained red for a day or two.
