Years ago I would hang out with friends who would plan a whole weekend morning around the ritual of Bloody Mary’s and I never even considered taking a sip.
One day I thought to myself “Colleen, you love tomatoes, vodka is your favorite booze and you are crazy for a good horseradish, so maybe you would like them.” Finally one day I had a little sip and I didn’t die, lol! Turns out a Bloody Mary isn’t thick and nasty, it is like a symphony in my mouth! The many flavors, and spices mingling on my palate, the zing of the horseradish and it was so cool and refreshing.
I had been missing out!!
I was hooked from my second sip and fell in love with a Classic Bloody Mary recipe!
A bartender I know locally makes her special Spicy Bloody Mary on Saturdays. ONLY Saturdays and each one she makes is a labor of love. Shelly is the one who stops for the cocktail shrimp to grace each Bloody before she gets to work and then she crafts each one individually. I have had 3 during a visit once or twice, they are just that good!

Once one person orders one of Shelly’s Spicy Bloody Mary drinks, heads turn, and then instantly a few more orders get put in. She has wrecked us, lol! Our standards are high!
My husband and I hate when we ask for a spicy Bloody Mary somewhere and its like we end up drinking Tabasco. No thank you.
Horseradish is the one key to making a great Bloody, and Kelchner’s is the BEST!!. Pickle juice and or pepperoncini juice is a great addition too, especially if it’s from spicy pickles, mmmm! Is it Saturday yet??
