    I'm still working on my plan. I'm going grocery shopping this afternoon and will see what inspiration hits me.

    I added some oyster brine to one at the beach a few weeks ago and it was heavenly.

    For those in Atlanta that are lazy and don't want to make their own... Go to Joy Cafe in Midtown. It's the best I've had in Atlanta.

    I've tried to mimic, but can only come slightly close.

    Use a 2 cups of Spicy V8. Less sodium than a Zing Zang or equivalent.
    All of the juice from a quart container of Pico. If crush Pico a bit, you should get about a cup.
    1/2 cup of Meyer's spicy pickles juice.
    1/4 cup of Pepperoncini juice.
    Tablespoon of Lea & Perrins.
    2 limes fully squeezed
    2-3 tbsp of vinegar
    2 tsp of horseradish.
    pinch of wasabi powder
    Salt and Pepper to your taste.

    Should make about 4 cups of mix. I refrigerate for at least 24 hours. 4 cups of mix should yield 8 bloodies served in pint glasses.

    My brother tried this with duck fat and said it was a game changer. Just that you had to heat it up slightly and the re-stir to serve so uniform.

    Can’t go wrong with zing zang mix if you want to keep it simple. Or, V8 spicy + horseradish, lemon juice, lime juice, Worcestershire, celery salt, and hot sauce.

    Usually try to walk the line between some good accoutrements and keeping it from being too busy at home, but ordered a mammoth today.

    Cleared it out and poured some of that oyster liquor in there. :taxes:

    I think I've identified most everything.

    Pickle spear
    Lemon
    Lime
    Olive
    Celery
    Bacon
    jalapeño
    Cucumber
    Crab legs

    Here's where I'm unsure

    Lobster tail?
    Grilled cheese or just toast?
    Whats the fried bit on the left? Stuffed crab?

    Had a very basic bloody this AM. Potato vodka, black pepper, homemade garlic dill pickle juice, zing Zang. Can't complain just needed to finish up those bottles.

    Anyone always make it as a Bloody Maria rather than Bloody Mary? I started that a few years ago and now I can't go back. Not even a big tequila person, either.
