The real man's Bloody Mary - Page 2

I never forgave my late friend for giving me a glass of Clamato straight.

Blegh!

I prefer to not chew my drinks, and I don't think drinks should come in courses.

Grendel's "throw the rest away" advice sounds about right.

A Bloody Mary is breakfast. It is a meal replacement. This is why you add celery and olives.

Some people use V8 rather than clamato or regular tomato juice.

To me a Bloody Mary is something you drink in the morning on a cruise ship, or in a bingo parlor in a casino in the morning, or at brunch. It's sort of a non-guilty morning drink like a mimosa. It's a drink and a meal so you don't feel like you're drinking hard first thing in the morning. It's also sort of like a hair of the dog to take the edge off after a night when you've been drinking a lot.

The morning drinker's discreet morning drink, aye.

I'm sipping on a Bloody Mary right now. I use the Tabasco extra Spicy mix with horseradish. It tastes a lot like cocktail sauce.

I hate bloody marys, but the girly loves them, when made right. No A1 sauce, that's just disgusting. Yes on the horse radish. No on Clamato (That's technically a Bloody Ceasar, I think), use V8 or tomato juice.

I'd rather drink straight vodka. Or better yet, give me rum and coke. Or a mojito (made proper). Or a screwdriver. Or damn near anything other than a bloody mary.
