Or you might create a self-serve Bloody Mary bar. Put out glasses, a
bucket of ice, a pitcher of tomato juice on ice, seasoning ingredients
for the classic Bloody Mary, and a couple of recipes (classic Bloody
Mary, Bloody Maria, and Bloody Mary Peppar) and the required spirits
(plain vodka, tequila, and pepper-flavored vodka).
VIRGIN MARY: Omit vodka.
BLOODY MARIA: Substitute tequila for vodka.
BLOODY MARY PEPPAR: Substitute pepper-flavored Vodka for plain.
DANISH MARY: Substitute Aquavit for vodka.
CALCUTTA MARY: To classic bloody Mary add 1/2 teaspoon curry powder and
a pinch of ground coriander.
BULLY MARY: Use 3 oz. of tomato juice and 3 oz. canned beef consommé or
broth.
SEASIDE MARY: Use 3 oz. tomato juice and 3 oz. bottled clam juice.
LONDON MARY: Substitute gin for vodka.
BLOODY MOLLY: Substitute Irish whiskey for vodka.
BLUEGRASS MARY: Substitute bourbon for vodka.
BLOODY MARY QUITE CONTRARY: Substitute sake for vodka.
CITRON MARY: Substitute lemon-flavored vodka for plain.
CUBAN MARY: Substitute white or light rum for vodka.
HIGHLAND MARY: Substitute blended Scotch whiskey (not smoky single malt)
for vodka.
ITALIAN BLOODY MARY: Substitute grappa for vodka.
BLOODY MARIE: To the classic Bloody Mary add a dash of Pernod.
GARNISHES:
Of course you can stick to a plain swizzle stick, or you may opt for the
popular celery rib -- but for heaven's sake peel off those strings. But
here are a few more creative garnishes for a Bloody Mary to stir things
up a bit.
Carrot stick: Peel a long, firm, medium-circumference carrot. Trim both
ends. Cut into quarters. Use one for garnish.
Cucumber stick: Peel a firm, seedless English cucumber. Cut into 8-inch
long sticks.
Scallion stick: Trim both ends and outer leaves from thin scallions. Use
for garnish.
