Well – did you have a wonderful Christmas? I sure hope so. Now to think about New Year’s. Or maybe you over did it a little yesterday?! I have just the thing to either make you feel better today – or a little recipe to keep on hand for New Year’s Day. This Bloody Mary recipe is the perfect thing. When my hubs would tend bar he told me that this is the “go-to” beverage for those trying to cure that hangover. I’m going to take his word for it as I have never tried this remedy myself. But this spicy Bloody Mary ought to help your ails.
I just love the medley of colors. Isn’t it so alluring – all those wonderful oranges, yellows & greens. This would also be great come summer – what do you think? Do you like to have a Bloody Mary in the summer? Maybe while sitting by the water.
This recipe makes enough for 2 glasses – so you & a friend can sip together.

I don’t like many mixed drinks or tomato juice but I do love these!

You are quite the mixologist! I stick to wine and a little Baileys. That’s all for me.
Happy New Year to you, and I hope you won’t need a recovery drink the next day. hahaha

Mmm, it’s been a long time since I’ve had one, but I used to love Bloody Marys.
