thirsty thursday: stovetop bloody mary

Happy Thirsty Thursday! My favorite day of the week :)

For the past month, I’ve been making nothing but Valentine’s drinks for Thirsty Thursdays. They were all very tasty, but I was a little worn out on fruity pink and purple cocktails! Pat was too.  We needed a change-up.  Stovetop Bloody Marys were just the ticket!

I’ve had a couple Bloody Marys in my life, and to be honest, I didn’t love them.  Until now.  I swear its because I cooked these on the stove.  All of the flavors blended so well.  It was delicious!

I got this recipe from my friend Chris at work.  His wife reads the blog (HI JULIA!) and they were so sweet to think of me with this drink.  This was Chris’s grandma’s SECRET recipe for the perfect bloody mary.  We are all very very lucky to be in on the secret!  I followed it exactly, and I hope his grandma would be proud of how they turned out.  It really is the most delicious bloody mary I have ever tasted!

It was just the right amount of spicy.  Its okay to have one for breakfast, right? just kidding.

You could garnish these bad boys with so many different things.  I chose tomato, lemon, olives, and pickles.  I saw lots of variations on Pinterest.  I even saw one with mini cheeseburgers as a garnish!! That’s hilarious, but is wayyyy too much work for me!

Hope you have a very Happy Thirsty Thursday!! If you’re still looking for that perfect Valentine’s Day cocktail, click HERE to check out past week’s posts.  There are plenty of love-themed creations to go around :) XOXO
