Lu's Bloody Mary image

My friend Lu Ratunil was the man behind the bar on Sundays at Good World, my favorite brunch spot when I was still the sort of person who went out to brunch. He considers himself a bit of a purist when it comes to bloody marys, explaining that ''since the drink has so many ingredients, the key is to balance them.''

Time 10m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 14

Lemon wedge
Lime wedge
4 oz. tomato juice
2 dashes Tabasco
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of celery salt
Pinch of coarsely ground pepper (pepper too finely ground will bring more heat and less flavor)
1/4 teaspoon peeled and freshly shredded horseradish (avoid using prepared horseradish from a jar)
2 oz. vodka (not flavored)
Slice of seedless cucumber
Pitted green olive
Lemon wedge
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Squeeze lemon and lime wedges into a shaker. Add all other ingredients except vodka, and stir. Taste the mix, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Put the mix in the fridge, and let it sit overnight.
  • Pour vodka into the shaker. Add ice cubes, and shake.
  • Fill an 8-ounce glass about halfway with ice, and strain the shaker contents over it.
  • For garnish, I prefer a slice of seedless cucumber, also known as a hothouse or English cucumber, rather than celery. (This isn't a deal breaker, though.) Cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice of cucumber on the bias. Cut a slit in the slice, and place on the rim of the glass. Spear the pitted green olive with a toothpick, and stick it through the rind of the lemon wedge. Place the wedge on the rim of the glass. Crack a little freshly ground pepper on top.

I thought this Bloody Mary was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for.
