Everybody Loves a Good Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary drinks are a good staple in your cocktail-making repertoire. Around here, the best bloody Mary is available from Duffy’s Tavern. Of course, sometimes you want to make a bloody Mary at home.

A good bloody Mary begins with a good base. Naturally, the base of a bloody Mary is based on a good vegetable juice. With a good juicer, you can make a good tomato-based vegetable juice. Here’s a great recipe for a bloody Mary to get your spirits rushing:
