Bloody Mary with layers of tangy flavour and a pickle-cheddar garnish
A Bloody Mary always tastes better on a Sunday morning (and by ‘Sunday morning’ that could mean 9am, 11am or 1pm). Tomato juice, vodka and a small parade of delicious extras make this drink a sort of half-meal in itself, or rather, a nice little appetite stimulator before a delicious Sunday afternoon lunch.
Bloody Mary Salt
Salt combined with a little onion powder and smoked paprika makes the perfect ‘bloody Mary salt’ to place around the glass rim. Don’t skip on the onion powder – the small amount plays its role in adding a subtle flavour that makes you lick your lips without it being obvious the onion flavour is in there.
