  • Bloody Mary Mix recipe
Two Bloody Marys on wooden table with tomatoes, olive & green onion garnish

Ingredients

  • TOMATO SAUCE: we like canned tomato sauce rather than tomato juice or Clamato juice. It creates a more robust flavor
  • CELERY: celery stalks, diced
  • CARROTS: fresh carrots, diced
  • GREEN ONION: fresh green onions (scallions)
  • JALAPEÑO PEPPER: fresh jalapeño, seeded and chopped
  • GREEN OLIVE JUICE: olive brine (juice from olive jar)
  • BLACK PEPPER: freshly ground black pepper
  • SALT: kosher salt or sea salt
  • SUGAR: vary the amount of granulated sugar to your taste
  • WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE: adds extra flavor
  • GARLIC CLOVES: fresh garlic cloves
  • CAYENNE PEPPER: just a dash of pepper (add more if you like it spicy)

*see recipe card for quantities.

🫒Bloody Mary garnishes

  • Green Onion: fray the edges for a festive look
  • Olives: stack a mix of green and black olives on a cocktail pick
  • Celery Stalks: the classic Bloody Mary garnish
  • Lemon Wedges: squeeze some fresh lemon juice in the drink and garnish

Variations

  • JUICE LIKE: to get a more Juice like consistency, add a bit of water if the mix feels too thick (we like to let the vodka and ice do the trick).
  • SPICE IT UP: add a bit of hot sauce or more cayenne pepper for more heat
  • BREAKFAST IN BED BLOODY MARY: try our popular recipe, garnished with breakfast favorites for a weekend treat
  • MICHELADA: substitute vodka with 6 ounces of Mexican beer

FAQ

What is homemade Bloody Mary mix?

Homemade Bloody Mary mix is a fresh, flavorful blend of tomato sauce, spices, and seasonings used to make the classic brunch cocktail. It’s customizable and far better than store-bought versions!

How can I make my Bloody Mary mix spicier?

To add more heat, add hot sauce, horseradish, or cayenne pepper. You can also infuse the mix with sliced jalapeños for a slow-building spice.

How long does homemade Bloody Mary mix last in the fridge?

When stored in an airtight container, homemade Bloody Mary mix lasts 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator. Give it a good shake before serving, as ingredients may settle.

Can I make a Bloody Mary mix in advance for a party?

Absolutely! Homemade Bloody Mary mix is perfect for making ahead. Prepare it 1–2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. This allows the flavors to meld. Just give it a good shake or stir before serving. For a party, set up a Bloody Mary bar with vodka, garnishes, and ice so guests can customize their drinks.
