pretty butt kickin' good! If you lay off the hot sauce, you end up with a great mild bloody mix as well (even with the horseradish) - that is in case you have guests that are wimps.
Everyone loved it. We used green tobasco and probably would have liked a spicier kick for our Bloody Mary. The flavor is really good - especially liked the horseradish. Took a risk on this even though it only had one review. Good risk.
This is some good stuff! Followed the recipe as written. One should probably like clams/oysters and spicy things to appreciate this recipe!
Too spicy for some.....LOVED by others!
This is some good stuff! I still like mine a little more spicy so I used hot & spicy V-8. Also where I live beef paste isn't easy to come by so I used 2 beef bullion cubes instead. I keep a jug mixed up in my man-cave fridge at all times!!
Scaled to 2 servings this is my second night making this. I LOVE IT!!! I'm actually drinking it now "virgin " and the combo of favors is spot-on! Last night I made a Bloody Mary using Sriracha vodka garnished with celery pickle and teriyaki beef stick and it was as good as any restaurant/bar Bloody Mary... BETTER even. I used Cholula's Chili Garlic Hot Sauce and Low Sodium V8. I used beef base (less than called for) last night and tonight I just added a couple fl.oz. beef broth. Sweet Goodness I'm dying over how good this is!
I substituted Sriracha for the tabasco and used Clamato Juice instead of mixing the tomato and clam juice together. Don't forget the garnish of 2 olives and a stalk of celery and a strip of crispy bacon. Yum BTW. Freeze some of the mix and use it for ice cubes. It keeps the drink from watering down
I love bloody Mary's and will say this is the best recipe/mix I have come across. I like spicy and this one fits the bill along with great flavor! If you prefer a Milder mix add less hot sauce.
I will cut back on the clam juice and horseradish next time
