I so want to meet you! This video was wonderful You’re way too hard on yourself with the “baby bump” disclaimer, girly. Sweatshirts are meant to feel comfortable in – and I think you wear them just fabulously!

I’ve been a fan of Bloody Mary’s for a while thanks to Papa Bender. He uses a lot of the same ingredients that you do, but I got some new ideas from your video that I’m going to suggest next time. The pickle and Swiss cheese are especially appealing – usually he uses a celery stick, but the salty action sounds oh so much better Yum!!

Thanks for the awesome video!

I had the DEADLIEST Bloody Mary at St. Charle’s tavern in New Orleans. I drank it in like the middle of the afternoon and just passed out for the rest of the day.

GREAT TIPS!

Cute video! I love Bloody Marys but have never made one for myself! But if I do, I will definitely be using your tricks!! You have such a cute northern accent! Hehe, I’m sure you would say the same thing about my southern one!!

Such a process…haha! I love Bloody Mary’s, and in my opinion the spicier the better! I usually do Horseradish instead of A1 and probably about 3 huge olives. My sisters boyfriend is the first person I ever saw put a pickle in his BM, but a swiss cheese wrapped pickle?? Insane! It looks delicious though, wish I were there with you!

I’ve never heard you talk before. I like your accent! I like bloody mary’s but am kind of picky about them. I don’t like it when they’re thick.

I LOVED this post. I love Bloody Mary’s but I have always messed up when I made them myself. A1 sounds like such a great ingredient to add. And I really liked all your garnishes. Aren’t all drinks meals? lol
Congrats to Mike and I hope you guys had a fab afternoon in Bloody Maryville.
