A delicious bloody mary can be a pain to make, especially if you’re making a bunch of cocktails at a time. Instead, I find it easier to make a big pitcher of this mix ahead of time. That way, when you’re ready to serve a few cocktails, all you need to do is salt the rim of a glass, add ice, vodka and this savory bloody mary cocktail mix and you’re good to go! The hardest part will be deciding what fun ingredients you’ll garnish your glass with: a celery stick, cherry tomatoes, olives, cheese?
