As a kid about a million years back I was lead to believe that the evil weed would be my gateway drug to ruin. Nope.
I blame my conservative grandfather for introducing me to Brew 102 back in the early 60's prior to becoming a teenager. I didn't start smoking pot until I was 15, in 1967/68. That was also the same time I was entering high school, when mini skirts combined with cheap wine and beer were in a war for my soul. One of my best friends was a stock-boy at a local liquor store, and that meant cheap wine & beer was not only accessible, but 'cheaper' than one might imagine.
I wasn't the big drinker my friends were, but I definitely explored my options.
Now, sitting around here as an old retired guy, I get to examine my choices as a younger me, and there's very little I would change if I had it to do again.
Springing forward several decades, I have a neighbor, also retired, and we have a lot in common, ... Rams football, pot, social drinking, privately perving on the local women, good food, and hanging at the River. Once a week this devil mixes the very best Bloody Mary's i've ever tasted, and that always leads to a second. Other occasions often lead to a variety of Rum based cocktails or Margaritas with me usually at the controls, but this is more an evening or dinner routine. His wife is also involved in our shenanigans.
I don't mean for the title to sound like a complaint, it isn't, but these morning Bloody Mary's end any attempt to accomplish anything mildly productive for the remainder of the day. So how do I explain to my neighbor my conundrum ... that I badly want a third.

simply tell him "well the rest of my day is shot, so might as well make me another drink"

I'm going to be brave and do just that, right after I finish this blunt and grab another bottle of Stoli for his mix. It's getting so damn hard to get out of this hammock though ... but Bloody Mary's are a nice perk for the aging process.

Add more garnishes to your Bloody. Try and make it more like a drink/snack.

Now, you'll still sloth out if you drink 2 or more, but you won't miss eating your breakfast.


Seriously, I am usually done with bloodies after one good sized one. That's one reason why I like to load it up with lots of garnishes. Making them really spicy is a must for me too.

I'm with him ^^^^° I put everything but the kitchen sink in my bloodys.... And that's only cuz it won't fit. I disagree with stopping at one though. I'm usually good for two.

As I mentioned in another thread, I recently found some super pickley BM mix when I was last in Nashville. I mix it with clamato and hot sauces and it's soooo damn good. Check out Mcclure's mix.

Now that's what I'm talking about! LOL

I've had a few kinda like that. One had a whole fried soft shelled crab sticking out of it. My favorite place to order one out has a huge prawn/shrimp (boiled and peeled), a think piece of atheir homemade smoked pickled bacon, some quality olives, and a couple of pepperochini peppers. They also give you a small glass of their home brewed beer to go with it.

My God though.... wouldn't it be awesome if those were really your neighbors. LOL

I served large crab legs, shrimp, bacon strips & a variety of peppers/olives in Bloody Mary's at my bar, but these are entering a whole new realm. My crab legs would nearly tip the glass over.

I love the Sliders/Kabob/Chix wing thing goin on here, so i'll definitely give that a shot.

That sounds awesome. I would have been a regular customer at your place for that!

Yeah... send that pic to your neighbor and tell him it's time to step up his Bloody game. LOL

Don't know about Bloody Marys', but exactly what in tequila makes women's clothes fall off? Please provide Chicago turabian sourcing for this phenomena....

There is also such a thing as Bloody Maria's for those preferring Tequila, same rules apply as above.

It must be the agave since that is the unique ingredient in tequila.
