    Brick and spoon in OBA might have the best mix I've had. It may be better than Zing Zang which is my go to. Are there mixes yall like better than Zing Zang or that yall use from time to time other than Zing Zang. SIAP

    gonna make these for xmas. My method is basically making a puree of celery, salt, pepper, horseradish and a few roma tomatoes. once you have a nice puree you incorporate your tomato juice. I usually add the liquor glass for glass, and will add more tomato juice to get a nice blend.

    Love some BM's.

    I've never made my own mix. I generally just use V8 spicy and add whatever else I want, such as pickle juice. But I've tried a couple others. Whiskey Willy's was alright. There is a local company called L.A. Gourmet that makes 3 or 4 different blends, I've had their mustard and cajun. They were okay, but I'd rather just have the V8 and doctor it myself.

    two of the better mixes I've had (other than zing zang) are Charleston and Ballast Point (yes, that Ballast Point)

    I like to take a pint glass with ice and fill it about 1/3 full of vodka. Then fill the rest with zing zang. Mix in a spoon full of horseradish, then throw in a Clausen spear and 3 Spanish olives.
    Keep all the other food items on the side.

    So NOLA has to be one of the main hubs of the bloody mary. I've discovered that most of their good restaurants do their own mixes and that they are mostly on the savory side. Will keep reporting. I've been nixing places that can't make a good bloody mary. There is one local restaurant that does crawfish that everyone loves for the social scene but i've started an uprising against it because their bloodys suck. Watery and just weak. If you have a prominent outdoor seating area and ppl go there a lot during the day on the weekends-you're going to need a killer bloody.

    Bloody bar will have to wait until week 2 when I'm in town, but I've got a bunch of farmers market vegetables pickling right now. Think I'm going to be going with a lot of Maria's this year, too.

    Hoping to step up my bloody game this year. I've never really made my own before, just did a basic one today with vodka, zing zing, hot sauce, lemon, and some blue cheese stuffed olives.

    So pumped. Going to have to review this thread before Saturday

    Go to mix is bloody revolution smoked habanero, but also like to take zing zang and spice it up. No matter what, steak rub is the go to rim garnish. Probably some olives, a lime, maybe a piece of bacon...who the fuck knows?

    I have something wrong with me. I like everything about a Bloody except the actual drink. I love spicy shit, vodka, all the toppings and garnishments, etc.

    Throw it all together and it doesnt sit well with me. Just give me some straight vodka and a beer with the garnishments on the side.
