Have A Big One To Bring In 2024?

Why not start your year off right with our favourite health drink…a Bloody Mary!

She’s a long time favourite and we think a new year and a bit of a sore head might coax her out of hiding. Here’s a foolproof way of whipping one up that doesn’t even require a shaker!

ENJOY!

Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 45ml vodka
  • 20ml lemon juice
  • Dash of Tabasco sauce
  • 5-10ml Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt
  • Tomato juice
  • Stick of celery
  • Slice of lemon
  • Pepper (to taste)

Method

  • Build the drink in a tall, ice-filled glass with vodka, lemon juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and salt.
  • Top with tomato juice.
  • Stir.
  • Garnish with a stick of celery, a slice of lemon and some ground pepper on top.

Serving suggestion // Pop some prosciutto in the pan for a minute to sizzle it up, and crack and sprinkle over the top of your drink to serve. Popping some salty, meaty goodness into a Bloody Mary is the best idea ever.
