Over the last year, we’ve bounced back and forth between two bloody mary recipes.  The first is something that I cobbled together online, probably from some over-spiced Emril recipe (bam!)  The second is a recipe we just picked up from McGinty’s Pub in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Bastard Child of Emril Bloody Mary (serves four)

• 2 tbsp. Horseradish
• 2 tbsp. Lemon Juice
• 1 tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning
• 1 tbsp. Onion Powder
• 1 tbsp. Worchester Sauce
• 1/2 tsp. Paprika
• 1/2 tsp. White Pepper
• 1 tsp. Garlic, Diced
• 1 bottle of the Bloody Mary mix of your choice.

McGinty’s Pub (single serving)

• 1 tbsp. A-1 Sauce
• 3 dashes of Tabasco Sauce
• 1.5 oz. vodka
• 3 0z. Guinness (yes, the beer)
• 3-5 oz. of Bloody Mary mix, to taste
• fresh ground black pepper
