Ultimate Bloody Mary Bar
Football season has finally returned! My beloved Nebraska Huskers got their first win under their belt this weekend and the NFL games kick off with Kansas City on Thursday night. It truly is my favorite time of year. What makes it even better, it gives us an excuse to get together with friends and family for watch parties complete with this Ultimate Bloody Mary Bar.
When I lived and worked in Omaha, one of my favorite places to go for Happy Hour was a local, hole-in-the-wall bar called the Report In Pub. They are best known in town for their delicious bloody marys which come with a full meal on top just like this.
The easiest way to start off your bloody mary bar is by placing your mix into a pitcher.
You can even offer an option for ‘spicy’ and ‘regular’. You can also have the vodka added already, or let your guests pour their own.
We know some of you out there prefer a little ‘stronger’ pour than others.
Set out your glasses and some ice. If you want, go ahead and decorate the rims. I like dipping them in lemon or lime juice and then rolling in Tajin or Old Bay seasoning.
Add your containers of ingredients in bowls or glasses, plus some cocktail picks or wooden skewers.
Here is a list of some of my favorite ingredients to add to your next Ultimate Bloody Mary Bar. Mix and match to fit your tastes and needs.
