Hey, I'm Jocelyn and this is Sandra and we are making Friday cocktails again
0:04
So, what do you got on tap today? We're going to do a scratch made Bloody Mary
0:09
Yay! So, a lot of people have had Bloody Marys and use a bottle of mix, which is great
0:14
It's easy. If you found one that you like, it's a terrific option
0:17
But if you want to really kind of kick up your cocktail game, then..
0:21
Make it your own. We're going to show you a few tricks of the trade. So, you can see I've got my glass full of ice here
0:27
and I'm going to just pour in you can put an ounce or two
0:32
it's really your taste it's not good we're going to do three small people's fingers
0:42
or two large fingers there you go that would be great grind in some fresh pepper
0:50
shake it in if you have to some salt Not too much
0:58
Now, this is important. This is horseradish. It's prepared horseradish. And it's not the kind that you put on, spread on sandwiches
1:08
There's nothing in it but horseradish. It's fresh ground horseradish, not horseradish sauce
1:14
Right. Not the mayonnaise kind Right It got some vinegar salt and horseradish is really all it is Oh my gosh It smells so good I love horseradish Like it all gets worms but like fresh ground
1:26
There's always a jar of that in my fridge at all times. Now, some people I hear don't like horseradish
1:32
If it's an anathema to you, don't use it. But I really think it makes me..
1:36
Or you should try to learn to love it. It is so good
1:40
So we did about like, what, a teaspoon in a bit? Something like that, yeah
1:44
Of course, all these things are to taste, right? This is your Bloody Mary
1:48
Right. So experiment, figure out how you like what you like a little more, a little less of
1:52
As Worcestershire, I'm just going to put in several drops. My dad always said, Lee and Perrin's, because we all thought about how to say Worcestershire, Worcestershire
2:04
You know, like it's such a thing for people, right? Right. Uh-huh
2:09
I have some hot sauce, brand of your choice, and amount of your choice
2:14
If you're sensitive to heat, I would just put in a few drops to start, and you can add more
2:20
You can add more easily afterward once the drink is prepared if you have a little more spice. Absolutely
2:25
You can't take it back out, though. So then I'm taking, I use, you can use regular tomato juice
2:30
I like to use V8 spicy hot because it's full of good things
2:34
We like heat. This is the thing right Have you gotten that in this with the horseradish and spicy B8 Why not Why not
2:46
So I'm going to just pour that over. And then with this, you're leaving a little extra space because we're going to add some salad to this thing, right
2:57
Yes, we are. You can add meat, too, if you really want to. I don't have any bacon fried up, but we could do a little stick of bacon in there, too
3:04
a stick of bacon in your Bloody Mary is deliciousness. Breakfast. I wonder if you can put like a hard bowl egg in there too
3:10
and just make it like a full on breakfast. Can we make this an eat and three
3:14
No. It could happen. It could happen. So you just saw me squeeze in a little wedge of lemon
3:20
a little wedge of lime. If you don't like lime, don't use it
3:26
Again, it's to your taste. Look at that. I love that I can see
3:30
all the horseradish inside there. all the spices you put. I think that's
3:34
great. I'm going to, you can drop your olives into the glass
3:38
I've just put them on a skewer because and I have here a
3:42
pickled grain bean. I always put pickled okra in mine but the grocery store sold
3:48
that. There's a bit of run down here on pickled okra. And mine will be
3:51
because pickled okra is amazing. It's amazing. Everyone should eat it. So a pickled okra is great Of course your or du stick of celery All right See what you think about that You know I love this This is something I have what every Saturday and Sunday morning at your house I think pretty much
4:14
It's wonderful as always. That horseradish is what just puts this over the top for me
4:19
It just adds so much. And really, if you want to take one of those basic Bloody Marys, you could probably do some of this to a basic one, too, right
4:29
When you're using... You can, absolutely. Actually, there's a video, I believe, about how to take your basic bottled mix with your vodka and then add a few things of your own to spice it according to your taste
4:42
So this is sort of the true build-your-own. People use other things
4:46
A stick of bacon is a beautiful thing in a Bloody Mary. Some people put cheese, all kinds
4:53
I love cheese, but I'm going to suggest this. If you do a cheese, it should be something fairly hard
4:59
You don't want to put like brie in there. It needs to be like a cheddar. Hard cheddar is kind of like an extra sharp is my favorite
5:06
And when you pull that thing out of the bottom and that's like, that's like the dessert
5:10
Oh my gosh. It really is. So thank you for this. I love, I love the fancy Bloody Mary
5:16
I'm glad you do. All right. So we'll see you again. Cheers
