Boozy brunch made perfect….pour yourself a zesty bloody mary in a spicy rimmed glass with All. The. Fixins.

Bloody Mary with all the Fixins

It’s 11 o’clock somewhere. AM. Oh yeah, you heard me right.

Isn’t that why we all love a bloody mary? It, partnered with the minosa makes day, hell morning drinking, acceptable.

Bloody Mary with all the Fixins

I take my bloody marys very seriously. Very. They need to be just the right consistency. Not too thick, not too thin. Spicy, but not overpowering. Zesty, slightly acidic with a proper bite. And the best part…garnished with EVERYTHING.

Yep, EVERYTHING. Think celery, olives, gerkins, pickled peppers and jalapeños, a little citrus and oh, yeah, BACON. Thick-cut, crispy, hearty, salty bacon. Because after all, the bloody mary is a brunch staple and in some cases…simply brunch. Yep, when garnished correctly, the bloody mary doesn’t have to coexist with eggs and toast at brunch, it can be brunch.

A meal in a glass. And well suited to help you rebound from a particularly rough night or help you kick off a crazy day. I like mine with an extra dash of hot sauce (even more than in this recipe), but of course than can be added to taste. It seems the older I get, the more I crave spicy heat. But it’s the opposite for my spouse. So dial the heat up or down as desired.

This recipe also leaves some room for tomato juice or V8, depending on your preference. I like a the zest and zing from V8, but if you’re a traditionalist simply go for tomato juice. Zesty, zingy, spicy, salty…there’s room for everything here.

The important thing to remember is…this is a cocktail when over-the-top works. The more the merrier. Put everything on a skewer, squeeze in a little lemon or lime and stir it up with a celery stalk. Use this recipe as a guide. A dash more heat, a little less horseradish…find your groove. And if you’re entertaining, set up a bloody mary bar packed full of garnishes and let your guests find their way.

You can even mix up your bloody mary mix a day ahead for entertaining made easy. That way all you need to do is kick back, relax and enjoy. Because bloodies and brunching is all about easy. Just like Sunday morning. Happy weekend everybody!

    Love these! We call ’em caesars, but basically the same thing and, like you, I garnish mine with everythang!!!! I put gerkin pickles, pickled onions, parm salami, pickled green beans, celery, you name it….the more the better. And I loves me some spice. So, it’s, like, only a little after 9am here. Too early to have one of these yet 😉 I mean it IS Friday and all, right?? Pinned and trying this soon! Pic are gorgeous, as usual, girl. Happy weekend!

    Wow! Over the top is right Cathy! This looks amazing! I think I must have been living under a rock because I tried my first Bloody Mary about 2 years ago. I just never thought I’d like them. Boy, was I wrong. And I know I’d love this one!

    This cocktail looks absolutely mouth watering. I would like to incorporate fresh jalapeños in lieu of pickled. Where would you suggest I add them to get the maximum amount of heat?
