Tips & Warnings
  • Use regular or spicy V-8 juice from a bottle, not a can.
  • For a sweeter drink, add a few more drops of Worcestershire sauce.
  • Try adding 1/4 oz. horseradish sauce.
  • Substitute Seagram's 7 for vodka to get a Bloody Seven.
  • For a Bloody Beach, substitute one part Malibu rum and one part vodka for the vodka.
  • A Bloody Beer is 1/3 tomato juice and 2/3 beer - none of the other stuff.
  • Substitute beef bouillon for the V8 to make a Bloody Bull.
  • Use Clamato juice instead of the V8 for a Bloody Caesar.
  • Use tequila instead of vodka, and lime juice instead of lemon juice for a Bloody Maria.
  • Mixed drinks contain alcohol, so use moderation.
  • Never drink and drive.

on 11/22/2005 1) A scoop of Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon preferred). 2) Ring the rim of the glass with lemon juice and place glass face down in a plate of Old Bay (if you can get it) or some other crab-type seasoning.
