Bloody Marys, as well as the non-alcoholic Virgin Mary variants, are frequently served in the morning (as are Mimosas and Screwdrivers).




  1. May be shaken vigorously or stirred lazily, as desired.
  2. Garnish with a celery stalk; a skewer of olives, pickles, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, or other vegetables; or even meat or fish (salami, shrimp, etc.) and cheese.
  3. Occasionally, pickled asparagus spears or pickled beans are also used.
  4. Prepackaged bloody mary mixes that combine the spicy, non-alcoholic components of a bloody mary are commercially available.
  5. For a sweeter variant, try a Bloody Mary I.
