Long Name, Good Drink


I was just thinking of a martini recipe for one of my girls, and I remembered this awesome Bloody Mary cocktail. 

The Best Damn Bloody Maria This Side of the Red River

Frigid Vodka, to taste - better be strong

In blender, combine and blend until frothy:

Fresh garden tomato puree
Red Tabasco, to taste
Green Tabasco, to taste
Garlic, minced
Balsamic vinegar, to taste
Lemon juice, to taste
Salt, Pepper, to taste

In a chilled tumbler, add two shots of Vodka and pour in mix, to your liking. Garnish with a pickled okra spear.

*Note: I forgot to add this earlier (the pic reminded me) - to put this drink over the top, garnish with Dilly Beans (pickled green beans) and spanish olives, in addition to the pickled okra. Other variations would be chilled shrimp and limes. But the pickled gig is my fav.
