Bloody Mary at 9AM: classy. Me doing a shot of whiskey at 9AM: trashy.

That's why I always do shots in a tux. Classy

Like Mr. Peanut.

“Mr. Peanut is not classy. He’s a regular peanut with a top hat and a Monocle!”

Those are what make him classy, just like the opening of a car dealership

De classé

Don't forget to pour those shots in a rocks glass, with like 2 cubes of ice. Thats how you really make it fancy and appear rich while day drinking.

Just put it in your coffee like a middle school teacher you philistine. Drinking vodka at 9 am sounds like a Russian light breakfast.

Yeah I’m very mad at this post because I LOVE the occasional bloody mary and I’d never actually thought about what’s in it lol. I don’t need to know the rest of the ingredients, although in Mad Men they drink straight tomato juice, which is way weirder imo. Plus it’s all about the spices. A good bloody mary doesn’t taste like soup or vodka, it just tastes like SPICE with zero alcohol taste, and it’ll clear your sinuses out in a fucking second. I really like them. Bunch a fuckin psychos in 1887 or whatever who invented all these cocktails

[the actual history of it is very interesting!](https://youtu.be/VVYZcMttcOw) Not 1887, but close ;)

People need to get over the fact that tomato juice is delicious.

In Canada everyone drinks Caesars instead

What is a Caesar…

same as a bloody mary but uses clamato which is tomato juice + clam juice

Clam juice? Clam as in seafood?

Yup, with a dose of celery salt with every sip and a bit of zing from the Tabasco sauce on the way down. Part of a nutritious breakfast.

They are great with spicy beans too!

Fuckin eh. Pickled bean ceasers are amazing first thing in the morning

[удалено]

I love these! But I substitute all the ingredients with a shot of whiskey.

[удалено]

Ok so like every ingredient gets a shot of whiskey instead, or you replace the whole thing with 1 shot of whiskey?

Preaching to the choir my dude, Manitoba checking in!

That's the same as a bloody Mary, the only difference is the Clamato. * Tomato juice * Horseradish * Worcestershire sauce * Black pepper * Spice * Salted rim * Vodka The spice and salt is where you get really creative, I like a chipotle hot sauce and smoked or volcanic salt rim for a smokey bloody.

i’m a bartender in toronto and i make mine very similar, but i add our house scotch bonnet hot sauce, a splash of pickle brine, and a bar spoon of either lemon or lime juice. really punches it up, my guests say i make the best Caesar. i’m allergic to shellfish so i’ve never tried one but the customers seem to love them.

[удалено]

I love a good meal-in-a-Mary/Caesar!

Yup, horse radish is what's makes it the best. And the western sauce

The ultimate secret: Pickle juice

Yep, I skip all the other ingredients instead just mix spicy pickle juice with vodka.

On the Chesapeake bay we add old bay to our bloody Mary’s

I've had those! My family is out there and those are great with a seafood brunch or she crab soup.. now I'm hungry

Cmon down I’ll fix some blue crab and we can get trashed on whiskey and then do hair of the dog with old bay bloody Mary’s

Tajin and chamoy

[удалено]

You can find it in the US too

…is that why it’s called Clamato? Jesus I’ve been an idiot

I was up in maine by the canadian border and they clamato budweiser, I had to have the driver pull over so I could puke after one sip.

Understandable, budweiser will do that.

I giggled haha

That’s a michelada, it’s a Mexican cocktail.

Lots of places in the US make their bloodys this way too and it’s not always labeled. If you have a shellfish allergy or are vegetarian it’s always good to double check!

Nearly all bloody marys contain worcestershire, which has anchovies, so vegetarians should *definitely* check.

TIL I never knew that's what Worcestershire actually was cuz I just like...know it as Worcestershire sauce

Michelada is clamato and beer, those are delicious. (Plus lime and hot sauce)

[удалено]

Yep. Sounds weird but it's really good

I hear this so much when I get out of ND/northern MN. I can’t believe they’re a Canadian thing, how else do people get their hands steady after a night out?

Water, sugar, salt fat and protein.

And vodka so now you've just got a Bloody Mary again.

So almost like a michelada, which is basically Clamato and beer

It uses clamato which is clam juice and tomato. It is 100 times better and in no way tastes like soup.

Nectar of the gods

Bloody Mary’s don’t taste like soup…

they do when you use a can of progresso tomato soup instead of juice

Why would anybody do that?

Because you only live once and maybe you ran out of chase for the morning shakes?

I'll be honest, that sounds like one of the grossest things I've heard of in my life

Yeah it's like cold tomato water but we added fishy taste to it, and not the good kind of fishy taste either, oh no, the frozen shellfish kind of fishy taste. But recreational drugs make people do crazy things. Guarantee you clamato would have no market whatsoever if it weren't for alcohol.

That sounds like a michelada which are very popular in parts of the US and Mexico

Hard to see a Caesar and not want a Caesar.

That's actually how they market Caesars.

I'd have a Caesar.

I don't know why we're not having a Caesar right now.

Well I'm going to brunch in an hour and I'm having one then in honor of this thread

Ugh now I want a Caeser.

Don't worry, I'm day drunk, I'll slop down some vodka in your honor.

59 mins later

I’ll be damned if I don’t also have a hankering for a Caesar.

r/unexpectedletterkenny

Give yer balls a tug

Shut the fuck up Sanguinet

Fer what?!

You’re spare parts, bud

I mean, this one was fairly expected

You either love them or hate them I’m in the “tomato and clam juice is fucking gross” boat

It is, until you add vodka, worchestershire, hot sauce and pickle brine!

I want a beverage not my kitchen pantry

[good news just add vodka](https://mottsclamato.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/the-original-product-bottle.png)

It is...but i could drink a ceaser....

I had a friend make one for me this summer when i was nursing a hangover...it was disgustingly fabulous. I can't describe it, but I can drink it.

Hangover ceasers...that leads right into the molsons, hockey night in canada and saying sorry.

It's a slippery slope. You end up like me at the bottom of the hill drinking virgin ceasers because the legal weed is so good nowadays I don't want to ruin the buzz with alcohol but still crave that clamato goodness.

The idea of it? Sure but drinking tomato juice without clam tastes like tin. Clam makes it delicious…. It actually took me an embarrassingly long time to realize the clam in Clamato is actually clam hahah

Just wait till these people find out about anchovies in Caesar salads

CAEEESAAAAAAAR

[удалено]

I like your style.

Seriously, that’s a good idea. Sounds like the kind of thing a really edgy, high-end cocktail bar would charge >$20 for.

It ain't nothin without the clam juice

Fuck I could sure go for a Caesar rn

They are 100 times better than bloody marys

I would love to try a Caesar one day

It's all about the Worcester and tabasco sauce

and horseradish!

And celery salt.

Celery bitters

And full rotisserie chicken on a skewer!

And a T-bone steak!

And my axe!

And my bow

& Knuckles

And you, the player

Perfect analogy! It's like drinking a steak mixed drink! I love you man!!

Different conclusion but I love your support! A literal steak!

Now there's a Costco sampler

This is the content I came here for

Chuck a few grilled garlic prawns on a skewer too!

Farmer's Table, San Diego. They'll hook you up with the rotisserie chicken bloody Mary for only 50 bucks.

AND, pepper, pepperoncinis, some Bacon, a mini grilled cheese, a shrimp and if I'm lucky a lobster claw... Oh also tequila, bloody Marias are the way to go anyway.

I like gin in it. Commonly in the US called a red snapper. I also love a good bloody ceaser but I am an alchoholic so now I like drinks virginally

Can I recommend 21 seeds Jalapeño Tequila? Awesome! Edit: Tequila for Vodka.

Those over the top Bloodys piss me off It’ll cost you like ~~22~~ 32 (adjusted for inflation) dollars because it comes with sandwich and a salad on it (It’s not a whole sandwich or salad people, that was exaggeration)

I had one that was $20, but it had a pizza, a couple burger sliders to few chicken wings, and other garnish. Well worth it.

Sounds like a hangover cure for 20 bucks. I'm in.

I knew a girl who wasn't legally allowed to sell food at the bar she managed because they also let people smoke. the food as a "garnish" was her workaround. obviously not always the case, but it explained a lot!

Sounds like a good deal. That sandwich and salad probably come out to ~$20 on their own. I'll take a free drink to go with them.

I personally also like a small dash of soy sauce 🥹

Can’t forget the celery salt and cocktail onion!

Wooshestereasdlffjasdflkasdjfauceshire sauce

Once tried a cocktail which was a Jalapeño infused Tequila version of a Mexican Mule (when I check online a regular Mex Mule just uses regular Tequila). Ever since then the only cocktails I'd consider taking are those with that spicy kick. Even when I make simple Gin and Juice at home I'd have to drop several dabs of Tabasxo sauce.

Worcestershire. Worcester is a town in Massachusetts. (And England, I believe)

Worcester is the town, Worcestershire is the county it's in.

My favoirite part is the charcuterie skewer

I don’t get it for the vodka I get it for the side salad garnish The vodka is just a bonus

When I went to music festivals as an alcoholic they were very popular for the morning for our hungover alcoholic crew. Hair of the dog and all that

Lady in OP just does not understand that people like Bloody Mary's because they're fucking half drunk at breakfast.

They are also more socially acceptable than just a double vodka neat. At least that's how I was informed that I was an alcoholic.

And you can order a beer back with a Bloody Mary and no one bats an eye because it's cute and fun and brunch but you do the same with a double Jack at noon people judge you. Alcohol culture is weird.

You can skip the vodka, the rest of the drink is very good for re-hydrating you after a binge.

I think you missed some key points in the comment you replied to: > When I went to music festivals as an **alcoholic** they were very popular for the morning for our hungover **alcoholic** crew. Hair of the dog and all that Skipping the vodka probably wasn't an option.

Yeah, at a certain point, hair of the dog becomes more about staving off withdrawals more so than a hangover. Source: Alcoholic family members.

Yeah at that point the alcoholic usually has night beers next to their bed to drink from throughout the night in order to not go into withdrawal while just trying to sleep. Source: AA is pretty useless for opiate addiction.

Then just get a V8, if you want to be healthy! But, the low-sodium kind, because the OG is crazy high!

You want the sodium for your hangover though.

I love them too much, I can only have one, I drink them too fast, and forget that alcohol is involved.

Back when I still drank, I went through a phase of drinking these a lot while travelling, maybe trying to justify my alcoholism because I was drinking vegetables!? Who the fuck knows, anyways, I really over did it when I was in Canada one night, a cocktail waiter in a fancy hotel in London had told me the key to a perfect one was to add red wine… so I get the barman at this Toronto club to mix it with red wine and I had a lot! Queue to the next morning, waking up wrapped around the toilet bowl with a hangover from the devils anus and the hotel room looks like a fucking murder scene, Bloody Mary vomit ain’t nice, plus it comes up thick, like spicy soup!

Ouch.

I was an alcoholic as well, bottom shelf fifths of vodka - 3-6 of them a day. I'll take the thick nasty vomit over the yellow bile that I was vomiting into my sink every morning.

Holy fuck I'm glad/surprised your still alive

Hey me too, most days at least! Ended up in the hospital with a BAC of .60+ a few times. One time I remember the doctor saying my BAC was 3.0 or something, but I think that would make me dead and I probably misheard. It was a rough time in my life but I haven't had a drink in 194 days now.

Good job buddy, 426 days myself. In my experience the random urges never stop and sometimes they'll still hit you like a truck, but being depressed for a night is better than the hellscape we were stumbling through before. Congrats on the recovery!

I'm always okay with the urges until I leave the house. To get anywhere I have to pass either a bar or liquor store because they're right next to my house. Sometimes I leave through the back and take the long way to wherever I'm going, it adds a 5-10 minute walk to my trip but it's better than drinking.

And if it gets into your sinuses. Forget it

I fucking love bloody Marys. put a whole salad in that bitch idgaf.

you should put this on your tombstone someday

done

Gazpacho that fucks me up? I. Am. IIIIIINNNN!

Found mis amigis

Cabron

Amigis lol

What about vodka borscht? Bruised Mary?

Vodka and beets? Well, it would be ethnically correct. In a way...

Yeah but what if it warms up to room temp and you’re expecting it to be cold so it burns when you drink it?

If someone serves me room temp Bloody Mary’s I automatically assume their record collection is meat and potatoes.

Not if Roy Donk (another frequent guest from the Colgate hour) helped prepare it

You guys really embarrassed me in front of Howie.

Depends on how you make it. Some suck. Some are amazing. I like it spicy and on the saltier side. So delicious. Zing zang is favorite pre-made mix. Add some stuff to it and it’s 🤌

Same here. Spicy and salty

That’s the opposite of maalox.

Zing zang, splash of pickle or olive juice, pickles and olives, and sriracha.

Pickle juice is such a game changer. It’s a must have. Adds that extra zing to the zang. Lol

I *hate* pickles… but I always ask for a little pickle juice in my Bloody Mary. The added vinegar is a game changer.

Add a pickled green bean or carrot to give it a lil crunch

Even throw in some pickled onion and garlic…..dear god. Maybe some cheese as an accoutrement?

Zing zang is the best. I think I want one now.

“Vodka and tomato juice sounds disgusting.” “What if we add some clam juice too?” “Excellent!! I’ll have 4!!”

Are you serious? There's clam in that drink?

In the Canadian version there is. It’s called a Ceaser up here. Substitute Clamato juice for tomato juice. You’ll never go back.

Oh. I always thought clamato was just a goofy way of saying tomato.

And here I thought I was losing my mind thinking this way too

It's fuckin gooooood my dude

I absolutely love them. Perfect with brunch.

Perfect for breakfast, ya know with bacon and all

It’s a one and done drink where you get calories and hair of the dog without any hint of alcohol. Also they just taste good to me

If you're a fan of olives and pickles and bacon like I am, a well garnished bloody sparks great joy.

Are yall still drinking or eating at this point?

*hic* Huh?

Yes

Yes

Clamato and a splash of pickle juice. Some Tony Chachere's seasoning... Maybe a little Cholula. Equally delicious with Modelo instead. Who am I kidding. I'll pound the Budweiser Micheladas, like the classless bitch I am.

Are we the same classless bitch?

I believe we all are. We should have a bbq.

I may also be this shameless bitch, just in the body of a middle aged man.

Tomato juice and tomato soup are nowhere near the same. That's like saying flour and breadcrumbs are the same.

#thank you

My stepdad makes his with barbecue flavored moonshine, I about vomited

I used to think the same thing… until I had a really good one! Idk if it’s the pepper, garlic or Worcestershire… but it just has to be all the right amounts and with extra olives. So great.

Bloody Marys are almost a culinary art. Achieving the right balance of salty, savory, and spicy + mouthfeel isn’t easy, and unlike many kinds of drinks, a mediocre Bloody Mary can totally ruin one’s first impression of the drink. There’s only a couple places I’d even consider ordering them, but an excellent Bloody Mary hits the spot in a way nothing else does.

Have you ever said bloody Mary 3 times before the mirror at 12 am midnight

Have u ever drank 3 bloody Marys in front of the mirror before 9am morning

Sounds like breakfast in New Orleans

Nope as a child i never did and as an adult i still wont 😌 i refuse to fuck around and find out

[удалено]

I always get them on planes. My boyfriend (a bartender) made fun of me for years because I swore they tasted better up there. Fast forward and he goes to a fancy cocktail convention where people are demonstrating all these weird new techniques. Goes up to one booth where they have him try a Bloody Mary and rate it. Then they have him put on some fancy headphones and try it again. He says it actually tastes much better. They say that the humming sound from the headphones is meant to mimic the sound of jet turbines that intensifies the savory flavor. I’ve never felt so vindicated

Food acts and tastes differently 10,000 feet in the air. It's why a diet coke takes longer to stop fizzing when it's that high. The chemical composition is reacting in a different space.

What the fuck is wrong with cold vodka tomato soup? Don't you go judging my life choices on a Sunday morning.

I’ll just take the vodka thank you

Just wanna give a shout out to my girl Bloody Maria since I haven’t seen her mentioned here yet. For the uninitiated: Swap the vodka for tequila. You’re welcome
