      Was the chicken wing hanging off the side of the glass? Like was it dipped in the cocktail? I think I might try that.

      Have to disagree with you on the bacon. It’s really good after it’s soaked up some of the Bloody Mary flavor. Plus celery is nature’s cocktail stirrer!

          … horses… for courses…?

          Literally never heard this phrase before, but it seems very similar to “different strokes for different folks.”

          It doesn’t make any sense to me but I kind of love it.

      Naw, dude. A decent Bloody Mary should be a reasonable substitute for a small meal.

      Think about it: you’re basically dinking a gazpacho, with a shot of vodka added. The additions flesh it out with something you can sink your teeth into.

      It sounds like alcoholism to have one of these instead of lunch (on a weekend), but the alcohol content is tiny compared to all of the other stuff you’re ingesting. It’s like having a glass of wine with your borcht.

      Also, you mentioned having it in the airport. Bloody Mary mix tastes different, and far better, at altitude. Have your next one in the air; you won’t get all of the trimmings, either. I sometimes ask for a virgin Bloody Mary just because of how good it tastes. Something about how high altitude changes our sense of taste; there’s an article about it on the intertubes somewhere.

          Or maybe you could benefit from a change in your definition of “meal”. Broaden your horizons!

          Like I said, Bloody Mary mix is basically gazpacho, which most people consider a meal.

          It’s Tobasco for us. If I use a hot sauce without vinegar, I add a tbsp of pickle juice (which is just vinegar anyway). It needs that sour.

      Yeah, looks pretty normal. A good Bloody Mary makes a decent meal all by itself.

      Buy what’s in the plastic bulb, do you think? Don’t tell me it’s a little shot of beer; that’d be an insultingly tiny amount of beer.

          Ooooh, that’s a great idea. When making Bloody Marys from scratch (almost scratch; I don’t hand-make the vegetable juice base), Worcestershire sauce is mandatory.

      It honestly looks like a Wish version of what you’d typically get with these. No seasoning to be seen on any of the toppings and the Bloody Mary itself looks like it was poured out of a premix container.

        You can’t see the seasoning on the rim. One of the reasons i hate mason jars for drinks - small rim means less seasoning. The mix was made in house and pretty spicy. All in all, it was a pretty good drink.

      I go through phases. Like someone else said, a Bloody Mary is a meal in a glass. It’s really different from most cocktails. I also like a Bloody Caesar, but my family calls it a Clam Digger.

        In Canada, it’s just a Caesar. And literally no one orders a Bloody Marie here (Caesars are basically our national drink now). We have egregious overproduced version like the above as well. Took this photo of a menu in Vancouver.

            When I ordered, the server comes up and says: we’re out of Nutella pie – can we substitute this other pie? And we basically burst into tears because it’s a cocktail topper pie slice…

      I’m not a fan of it either. The rims are too thick to pick up the salt, and there’s not enough diameter to get enough salt for the whole drink. Plus, the curve from the jar to the rim makes it hard to get all of the drink without getting hit in the face by the remaining ice. Just a terrible cocktail glass.

      Edit: I meant to say, “There was a phase and I missed my one chance to be cool?!”

      Phase? I grew up poor AF, so it was either jars or beat-up, cast-off Tupperware cups, and I always hated the feel of putting plastic to my mouth. Now that I’m grown (definitely not grown-up, though) and actually able to afford excellent glassware, jars are just a great way to reduce and reuse. I’m all about multiuse items, and jars are one of my favorites.

      Lots of things come in straight-sided jars which maximize volume stored with volume consumed. The jar comes with a sealing lid. They tend to be durable since they have to survive shipping. I can make a big cocktail or some great food to give to a friend without worrying if my container comes back. Yeah, I’m Team Jar all the way.

      I don’t like using straws. Plus, it’s a salted rim - meant to pick up some salt when drinking the drink. Honestly, though, kind of surprised you’re the first person to point it out. I means, it’s right there in the picture!

        Fair enough.

        If you did like using straws you could just swipe some of the salt onto the rim of the straw.
