Instructions

I LOVE Bloody Marys. Having sampled many at different cocktail bars I took all my favourite elements to create what I think is the ultimate bloody mary. If Big Tom Tomato Juice cannot be found then V8 veg Juice is the next best thing. For a slighty less spicy drink try using half Big Tom and half V8. Enjoy!!Half fill your glass with ice, add 2 shots of peppar Vodka and the worcestershire and Hot Sauce. Add Big Tom Tomato Juice and shake with cocktail shaker. Pour back into glass. Pour shot of Sherry into the top of the glass, add salt, Pepper and Celery. Squeeze slice of Lime into drink and then drop in. All done!!! Oh and with such a glamourous drink its only right you drink it with fancy straws and cocktail garnishes!!

Retro Girl Bloody Mary - Summary

The Retro Girl Bloody Mary is a vibrant twist on the classic Bloody Mary cocktail. This version infuses the traditional flavors with a spicy and savory kick, thanks to the inclusion of pepper vodka and the distinctive touch of Tio Pepe dry Sherry. The cocktail starts with two shots of pepper-infused vodka, adding a piquant undertone that is perfectly complemented by the nutty, dry characteristics of the sherry. A dash of hot sauce and two dashes of Worcestershire sauce further enhance the cocktail's complex flavor profile, bringing a fiery and umami-rich depth to the drink. The base of Big Tom Tomato Juice provides a robust and flavorful body, while a sprinkle of salt and black pepper adds a touch of seasoning. A crisp stalk of celery and a slice of lime garnish the drink, offering a refreshing crunch and a zesty finish.

The Bloody Mary has a storied history, believed to have originated in the 1920s or 1930s. Its creation is often credited to Fernand Petiot, a bartender who reportedly first mixed the drink at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. The cocktail gained popularity for its purported hangover-curing properties, largely due to its savory ingredients and the belief that the tomato juice and spices provided a therapeutic remedy. Over the years, the Bloody Mary has seen numerous variations, with each iteration adding its own unique flair while maintaining the essence of the original. The Retro Girl Bloody Mary is a modern take that pays homage to this enduring classic, offering a bold and flavorful experience that delights the senses.
