oscarsear Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Gotta love my mother-in-law, Elsie. She really, really, really loves my bloody mary concoction. She loves it so much that she has challenged anybody in her trailer park to beat it. She, of course, enlisted me to meet the now accepted challenge. I'm now engaged in a B.M. contest at a retirement skip park some 3 weeks away. I'm not especially nervous but I'm seeking some feedback from you wonderful folks (those of you who are so inclined). I would like you to try my mixture, give me your impression and offer any suggestions, pleeeeeze!! My recipe/formula is simple but not in mixology terms so I'll write it in terms most of us from the 60s would grasp. In a beer mug. Ice in bottom 3rd. 2 squirts of lime juice (I use the little plastic bottles). 2 glurps of Tobasco. Stir the ice, lime and Tobasco lest ye freeze up the ice cubes. 2 fingers of vodka, 3 if you wish to accelerate the night. Fill the balance with Clamato (well shaken). Garnish with the celery thingy. That's it. Any thoughts or ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olorin Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 It's not the first thing I thought of when I saw "B.M. Contest," but I'm glad this is the direction you took it. Recipe sounds great -- I'll try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Me too, and the Tabasco made perfect sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popbumper Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Gotta concur, "B.M." doesn't typically describe a potent potable.... Popbumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Perhaps a potent pottable . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddvj Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I'm sure you'll have some interesting BM's after drinking a few of those BM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Yes I too was a bit taken back at first by the B.M. contest topic line which was to me a more "moving" experience than the bloody mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 A strong horseradish seperates the good BM from the outstaning BM Also a hint of freshly ground black pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vavoline Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I'll give it a try. And I do like 'em hot. Lateley I've been using a product I get at my local grocers. It's called "Pain is Good Jamaican Bloody Mary Mix, Batch # 114." Got a picture of a screamin Jamaican on the label. This is the ONLY store bought mix I have ever used that I didn't have to doctor the heck out of. Anyone else ever tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vavoline Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hey, look at that, I'm now insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Ya know there is just something about a BM contest and a reply by "Valvoline" that just sqirts out right at ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsear Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 Vavoline....I do use the "pain is good" Batch #37 hot sauce on eggs. It's much better than the Tabasco. I haven't tried their B.M. mix. They're at www.originaljuan.com and I'll have to get some. Thnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vavoline Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Oscarsear, Thanks for that address. I am going to try some of their other products! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customsteve01 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I was in Truk Lagoon in the south pacific and the bartender didn't know what tobasco was so we asked her if she had anything hot. the only thing they had was Wasabi. So we tried it mixed up in the BM and it was "very interesting" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
