How To: Bloody Mary Bar

I’m planning a wedding shower in a few weeks for a bride that loves Bloody Mary’s. The other hostesses and I want this Bloody Mary Bar to be unforgettable. This is what we did last year for Anjali’s shower…

Starting with a great Tomato Mix is very important, I want to try this recipe for Roasted Tomato Juice from my fav chef Suzanne Goin (The Hungry Cat Bloody Mary.)

Once you have your base of Vodka and Tomato Mix then you need an array of garnishes. Lemon, limes, hot sauces, crunchy celery and a mix of artisan pickled vegetables.

Guests mix their own custom cocktails to get the shower started on the right note. Any other tips or ideas to spice up our Bloody Mary Bar? (pun intended)

Such great ideas! Here are a few more tips for a Sunday Funday, which obviously needs to include a bloody mary bar http://thesavvymrs.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-host-sunday-funday.html

Why not add some chilled shrimp (a family favorite in these parts) or skewered cheese (a favorite in places like Chicago & WI). Both are delicious additions to any Bloody Mary and easy to do.
