BLOODY MARY ALA INA GARTEN



Bloody Mary Ala Ina Garten image

I love a Bloody Mary with texture. I have always wanted to make my own mix and this looks outstanding. Make it as mild or spicy as you like by adding more or less horseradish or Tabasco. These will be even tastier if you make this cocktail several hours before serving or the day/night before. Great for brunch! UPDATE: 8/3/08- Keep the Tobasco & Worcestershire handy! This is refreshing but IMO needs more Tabasco & Worcestershire, consider yourself warned. LOL!
