How to Make a Bloody Bull

The Bloody Mary: A classic, sophisticated cocktail. However, if you're looking to add a little bit of oomph to this swanky favorite, try making a bloody bull. Believe it or not, an added kick of beef makes a big difference--and one for the better. Here is how to make a bloody bull.

Things You'll Need

• Ice
• Vodka (proof and brand are a matter of preference)
• Tall glass
• Tomato juice or bloody Mary mix
• Liquid beef bouillon
• Cocktail shaker
• Lime wedge or green onion stalk for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Pour approximately one and a half ounces of vodka into the cocktail shaker. Feel free to add a bit more if you're feeling adventurous (and aren't planning on driving anywhere).

2. Add about 2 or 3 ounces of the tomato juice or bloody Mary mix.

3. Pour about one and a half ounces of the liquid beef bouillon into the shaker. This can be canned, condensed bouillon, or you can make some using a bouillon cube and hot water.

4. Add a dash of ground black pepper for a little extra kick.

5. Mix the ingredients well using the cocktail shaker. Pour over ice.

6. Garnish with the lime or green onion and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• There are some places where you can actually buy pre-made bloody bull mixes. All you have to do is add the alcohol. Some people like these mixes because they have spice blends that give the cocktail some bite.

• If you're not a fan of vodka, try tequila as a substitute.
