The Bloody Mary is a vodka-soaked nutritional breakfast and hangover cure all in one. What else could you ask for?  If you make it with gin it is a Red Snapper.  Add clam juice and it is a Bloody Caesar.  Use beer in place of vodka and it is a Michelado.  Bourbon makes a Bloody Belle, tequila, a Mexican Mary, scotch, a Braveheart.  No alcohol – it’s a Virgin Mary.

Note:    There are several good Bloody Mary mixes on the market.  V-8 juice also works.  You can add your own garnish/variation –  top with a shrimp skewer, a slice of bacon and a tiny cheeseburger – there are no limits!
