Are Bloody Marys a Vegetable? [Local Bloody Mary Recipe]
This morning on Jon and Leslie, we talked about a British nutritionist who claims Bloody Marys count as a vegetable - hence are "healthy." So, we decided to go find a really delicious Bloody Mary recipe that's has a local twist and will be totally refreshing this Memorial Day!
Ohio River Bloody Mary
Ingredients
- 1 (46-ounce) bottle tomato juice (You can be really local and juice local tomatoes!)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon or lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning blend, 2 tbsp for glass rim
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 1/2 cups Glenmore/Burnette's (or other local) Vodka
- Garnish: Lemon wedges, cilantro, pickled okra and/or celery
Preparation
Mix thoroughly - serve chilled. Rub rim of glass with lime and dip into additional Old Bay. Garnish if desired.
One of our listeners pointed out that a tomato is actually a fruit.
Oh, well! Let's have a Bloody Mary anyway!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
