Bloody mary mix is easy to make at home. You will find that this mix is far more complex than the standard recipe. The combination of sauces and spices makes a great base that can be stored in the refrigerator. When you're ready for a bloody mary, you'll simply add it to tomato juice and pour the spirit of your choice.
While vodka is the most common liquor for a bloody mary, it's not the only option. Gin was the original base for the savory drink, and blended whiskey is excellent as well. Of course, you can always skip the booze and make it a virgin bloody mary, too.
The recipe makes right around 2 cups of bloody mary mix. For each drink, add about one tablespoon for every four or five ounces of tomato juice (and a shot of liquor), adjusting it to your taste.
