    Di,

    Use Clamatto juice instead of tomato. Lotsa hot sauce.

    Since FlaPoolMan introduced these several fests ago, we usually have a batch in the frig.

    Beverage, Bloody Marys, FlaPoolMan


    INGREDIENTS:
    1 quart Motts Clamato Juice
    10 oz 80 proof Vodka or Gin (8 oz.= 25%, 16 oz.= 33%)
    1-2 Bottle Caps Lemon Juice Concentrate (use cap off bottle)
    2 Glugs Worcestershire Sauce (turn bottle up and it will say GLUG)
    5 Shakes Tabasco Sauce
    10 Shakes Celery Salt (hold jar and pat bottom for 1 shake)
    10 Shakes Celery Seed (hold jar and pat bottom for 1 shake)
    20-25 Twists Course ground Black Pepper, pepper grinder
    If fresh from pepper mix +/- 1/2 tsp.--if from shaker or can, make a coating on top
    of liquid 2 1/2"-3" diameter.




    PROCEDURE:
    1 This needs to be made at least 3 days in advance.
    2 Mix all in a pitcher -ONE BATCH- at a time. Stir with a wooden spoon, with slots if available,. This mixture is ready to serve over ice at once, but if refrigerated overnight it sharpens the taste and hotness.
    3 Garnish with pickle, dill, orange slice, stick of celery, optional.
    4 People in upper midwestern states serve 10 oz. bloody marys with a small side glass of beer, 4-6 oz. Try it you might like it. It's like an unmixed boiler maker, but not as strong.

    ZingZang made by Lea & Perrins or Whiskey Willie with the Black lable are good storebought mixes.I'm sure they're not as good as homemade.I like a little prepared horseradish mixed in too. ;)

    No problem, glad I could help out.

    They were invented in some hotel (can't remember which one) in Calgary a few decades ago. I would say in Canada, Ceasars are far more popular then Bloody Mary's. Not sure if you can buy clamato in the US though (assuming that's where you are).
    Best Regards - Tweev-tip.

    Hoss, you're right on with the Zing Zang. It's the best I've ever had.

    I'm a horseradish fan myself. I've never see those brands, but I'll pay attention and see if I can find them. Thanks!

    sure you can. I've been making them with clamato for over 20 years now. This was the batch for the Sunshine fest and they always seem to be well received.

    Lake Conroe Egger put us onto this recipe. It's really good.

    Frank's Bloody Mary Mix

    Origin: Lake Conroe Egger

    Ingredients:

    ● 2 qt. Clamato
    ● 1 tsp. Beef or Veal Demi Glase
    ● 1 tbsp. Celery Salt
    ● 1 tbsp. Lemon Pepper
    ● 2 tbsp. Horse Radish
    ● 1 tbsp. Shrimp/Crab Boil Seasoning
    ● 2 tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
    ● 1 tsp. Dill Weed
    ● 1 pinch smokey dehydrated peppers, (secret weapon)

    Directions:

    Mix all together. The demi glase dissolves better when mixed with some of the Clamato and microwaved for a minute. It is better if it has a night to rest in the fridge. Shake well before serving.

    I strain it after the second day and it is less "chunky".


    Also, Florida Pool Man has an outstanding recipe.

    Florida Poolman’s Bloody Mary Recipe

    1 Qt Clamato
    1 ¼ Cup Vodka
    5 Shakes Tabasco
    2 Shakes Worcestershire Sauce
    2 Cap-Fulls Lemon Juice
    10 Shakes Celery Seeds
    10 Shakes Celery salt
    20-25 Turns of Red Pepper Grinds

    He makes plenty in advance and lets it set in the refrigerator for a few days. This allows the various ingredients to merge. It's pretty good stuff, especially on the early morning grounds of an Eggfest.

    You won't be sorry with either one.

    I agree with Hoss that ZingZang is a good store-bought mix as a stand alone or tweaked up a bit. I like it.

    Alittle history.

    Vodka, Bloody Caesar, OttawaEgg

    A close relative to the Bloody Mary. It was created by bartender Walter Chell in 1969. Using Italian cuisine for inspiration, he came up with a mixture of hand-mashed clams, tomato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; then garnished it with a celery stick and named it for the Roman Emperor - a 'Bloody Caesar'. Later, with assistance from Chell, the Mott Company went on to develope 'clamato' juice.


    INGREDIENTS:
    6 oz Mott's Clamato Juice
    1 1/2 oz Vodka
    2 dashes Tabasco Sauce
    2 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
    Celery salt
    Freshly Ground Pepper
    Lime/Lemon wedge
    1 Crisp Celery Stalk




    Procedure:
    1 Rim highball glass first with the lemon slice and then the celery salt.Fill this glass with ice. Add vodka and juice to ice, and season with pepper, Worcestershire Sauce, and Tobasco. Stir, and then garnish with a celery stick.

    I appreciate all the advice. I made a pitcher by FlaPoolman's recipe and it's in the frig. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the DP Swamp Venom. I've been thinking about ordering some, just haven't done it yet. Can't find a retailer that sells DP products around here. This gives me a reason to make it happen.

    Right on Steven, and also try one using Tequila instead of Vodka.
