Our version of the Bloody Mary is perfect for brunch parties. Prep the seasoned tomato juice mix and the garnish platter the night before, and stash them in the fridge to chill.

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp kosher salt

1 Tbsp coarsely ground black pepper

1 Tbsp cayenne pepper

4 cups (32oz) tomato juice, chilled

4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

6 to 12 rings Lindsay® Hot Sliced Jalapeno Peppers, chopped

1/4 cup diced Lindsay® Red Roasted Peppers (about 1 pepper)

2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 medium lemon)

2 Tbsp (1 oz) Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp (1 oz) brine from Lindsay® Hot Sliced Jalapeno Peppers

1 Tbsp prepared horseradish

2 teaspoons cracked black pepper

12 oz vodka

Directions:

Stir together the salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer to a saucer or a small plate and set aside.

Place all remaining ingredients except vodka in a blender and blend until combined. Chill overnight if possible.

Prepare the garnish platter:

• Celery stalks, trimmed at the bottom


• Lindsay® Naturals Green Ripe California Olives or Lindsay® Pitted Spanish Manzanilla Olives


• Lindsay® Greek Kalamata Olives or Lindsay® Black Ripe Olives


• Lindsay® Golden Greek Pepperoncini and/or Lindsay® Hot Chili Peppers


• Lindsay® Mixed Giardiniera and/or Lindsay® Cocktail Onions


• decorative toothpicks

Salt the rim of six 16-oz glasses: Wet the rim of the glass by dipping into a saucer of water, then dip the rim in the spicy salt mixture. Fill each glass to the rim with ice. Add 2 oz vodka to each glass, then top with Bloody Mary mix. Let each guest garnish their own drink with celery and a few toothpicks loaded with their favorite peppers, olives, cocktail onions, and giardiniera.
