The Best Bloody Mary image

I will spare you the details - this my friend, Judy & her husband, Ed want to use this as one of the mixed drinks for their shindig - they tried it and loved it and even though it seems like a lot of work - they say it is worth it. Bon Appetit Magazine, September 2009 Edition. "The Bloody Mary, to quote cocktail guru Dale DeGroff, is like "backyard barbecue: Everyone thinks his is the best." We just might be able to settle that debate. At Holeman and Finch Public House in Atlanta, co-owners and bartenders Greg Best and Andrew Minchow serve the definitive artisanal Bloody Mary using surprise ingredients." Cooling & chilling times have already been included.
