    This quick and easy homemade bloody mary comes together with classic ingredients. Build a bloody mary bar with fun garnishes!

    I've always been a mimosa kind-of person but lately I'm all for a bright, savory, salty, and semi-spicy bloody mary!

    They're smooth, almost creamy, and have endless variations.

    How to Make a Homemade Bloody Mary

    I like to keep my cocktails simple and fresh. It may be no-frills but it's sure full of flavor! Here's what you need for the best basic bloody mary:

    • Tomato juice
    • Vodka
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Hot sauce
    • Lemon or lime juice
    • Salt and pepper

    You may have noticed I left off prepared horseradish. If you enjoy horseradish, feel free to add 1-2 teaspoons.

    PS: Not a fan of vodka? Use tequila for a bloody maria instead!

    PPS: Want to make it a virgin bloody mary? Simply leave out the alcohol!

    Garnish Ideas

    • Celery
    • Pickle spear
    • Olives
    • Parsley
    • Anything else you can think up!

    What to Serve with Bloody Marys

    If you're searching for a food pairing, think about what goes well with or compliments tomato juice – after all, that's the base of this delicious drink!

    Here are a few options to get you started, from breakfast and brunch to appetizers and snacks.

    • Pickleback Cocktail
    • Easy Breakfast Board
    • Oven Baked Meatballs
    • Red Pepper Hummus
