We are entering what I consider peak bloody mary season. I love making them just as summer winds down, using heirloom tomatoes (after the initial thrill of tomato season wears off). Here you have a vibrant, bold, bloody mary made with fragrant herbs, yellow heirloom tomatoes, shallots, and a bit of kick from the vodka and serrano pepper. It’s the bloody mary I want to drink, and I suspect you’ll love it too!
A Bloody Mary is traditionally a cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and a combination of spices and flavorings. Herbs, horseradish, celery, lemon or lime juice, garlic, hot sauces – they’re all at home here.
It’s a deservedly beloved brunch beverage, hangover bounce-back, and breakfast blender endeavor. That said, there are tricks to getting it right. A good Bloody Mary is all about balance, and i’ll outline a few things to think about as you dive in.
This version is all about fresh ingredients. If you don’t have fresh, ripe yellow tomatoes on hand, by all means, use red ones. The main thing is making sure they’re juicy, flavorful and at their peak. Your herbs should be fragrant, and absolutely bump up the amount of serrano chile here if you like a bit more heat.
