I’ve been playing around with this B.L.T. cocktail idea for awhile. I decided to go the route of the Bloody Mary because basically the Tomato component of the B.L.T. is the star. To bring in the B and the L, I used some of my homemade Bacon Vodka and added some Romaine as the garnish. The Creamy Horseradish gives this drink a definite bite to it. I could also see this being served with Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp. OMG…that would be delish! (I didn’t have shrimp and didn’t think of the bacon-wrapped shrimp until just NOW! haha!) On to the Bacon Bloody Mary…
Ingredients:
2 oz. Homemade Bacon Vodka
4 oz. Bloody Mary Mix (recipe below)
Ice
Directions:
Combine in a cocktail shaker and serve over ice. Garnish with crispy bacon and 1 romaine lettuce leaf.
Bloody Mary Mix:
2 cans Tomato Juice (about 24 ounces)
1 lemon, juiced
2 limes, juiced
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tablespoon Creamy Horseradish
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon celery salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients and chill for at least 2 hours, covered.
BACON! You just made this drink sound appealing. I have yet to jump on the Bloody Mary wagon, but you think you’ve swayed my stance. Normally I see the drink when plane passengers order it or on the rare occasion, someone orders if for Sunday brunch. Hmm…maybe I’ll make this on New Years Day.

I love a good bloody mary recipe! This will be a definite must try Christmas morning
I have died and gone to heaven!! Love this! Can’t wait to make it! I’m a bloody mary fool 🙂
Well shoot yeah, this looks good! I tried my own bacon experiment the other day (popcorn) and it certainly did not turn out as well. We just had “crabby” bloody marys yesterday and they were good, but bacon has to be sooooo much better! Stopping by from Creative Mondays. Have a great week!
This sounds amazing! Perfect for Christmas morning. 🙂 Visiting from My Whims Wed!
I’m sorry, did you say bacon vodka? BACON VODKA! Gaw! LOVE!
