My husband loves bloody marys like you wouldn’t believe. Lately I’ve been getting into experimenting with new flavors again. Last time we were flying, we made a gigantic list of bloody mary flavor ideas. One night, we even tried a pickle bloody mary. I loved it, he didn’t.
This recipe is simple and straightfoward. If you like basil, you’ll love it. The cheese is a fun bonus too!Basil Bloody Mary, serves one
bloody mary mix
fresh basil
lemon
tabasco
1-2 ounces vodka
worcestershire sauce
olives
pepperjack cheese squares
In the bottom of your glass, tear up a few basil leaves and muddle them with the juice of half a lemon. Fill the glass halfway with bloody mary mix. Add 1 ounce vodka for a mild cocktail or 2 ounces for a more “serious” version. Add 1/2 a teaspoon tabasco and worcestershire sauce. Top the glass off with ice and add a little more bloody mary mix if needed. Garnish the drink with cubes of pepperjack cheese, fresh basil leaves and olives. Yum yum. Done and done!Is it the weekend yet? xo. Elsie

This looks absolutely amazing! I only wish I had come across it last Friday before my cottage weekend that I spent drinking plain old Bloody Mary’s….wah wah.
I love bloody marys! This looks as delectable as it sounds. Though my husband and I never use mix…we just start with tomato juice and add the spices. 🙂
I just cannot get my head around Bloody Marys but you make them look SO good!

This look FANTASTIC. I am an avid supporter of bloody mary’s for breakfast after a rough night. I mean, it’s got lots of vitamins, right? AND there’s cheese there. Oh I’d just be in heaven haha. Might replace the vodka with some bacon infused vodka because, well because bacon.
Yum! This looks absolutely delicious. I’m going to have to try it once I’m not pregnant!

Zing Zang makes a pretty good bloody mary mix. I love the addition of pepperjack cheese here as a garnish, and somehow, serving drinks in a canning jar just makes the drink taste even better!
I don’t drink bloody marys but this looks so beautiful that it would tempt me to try one anyway.
So lovely pictures! 🙂
