And ok maybe they're not secrets but I'm a novice at this and I don't have a drinks shaker or any fancy gadgets!
Here are the secrets:
1) A squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
2) Adding the ingredients in exactly the following method:
Get a tall glass, shake lots of tobasco drops in it, squeeze a small bit of lemon in, pour ice cold tomato juice, pour ice cold vodka, salt and pepper, stir. Celery stick optional.
And this is the result:
Absolutely bloody marvellous! Pardon my French!
And a great drink on a hot day. A great drink after a very stressful hot day. It is surprisingly refreshing and suddenly the world is a better place.
Charlie says: What an alky, I'm definitely off next door!
Have a lemony Friday everyone!

Suddenly I'm quite thirsty. I'll take one, too, please.
I'm very sorry you had a stressful day, though! Monday was my insane, emotional meltdown day, so you have my sympathies.
I love a can of V8 and have a great (if I do say so myself) gazpacho recipe with V8. But I don't like Bloody Mary drinks.
When it's hot, I like a Mojito or a Cosmo.
I like Charlie in a blur. You're very clever with your pictures. My cat is less judgmental about my drinking than yours!
Stay cool.
I don't know why Mary would be contrary after a few of those! Wait Charlie, Mary brought some nip too!
I always wondered how to make a bloody mary! Hope you and Charlie are having a wonderful summer so far! Today was our first really hot day in June if you can believe that. Finally it feels like summer!
I love Bloody Mary's but I have never made one!
Sounds good and easy!!
It sounds lovely (minus the vodka...vodka doesn't like me). Have a wonderful weekend, Jennifer!
Our Mommy adores Bloody Mary's, especially if she's drinking before 5 pm; they are also wonderful with weekend brunch and go really well with eggs benedict!!...Happy Friday sweet friends...kisses and hugs to handsome, floofy Charlie...Calle, Halle, Sukki
haiiii....have a sweet friday!!!
my human had sitted for her exam
and no more stress for her & us
luv ya!!
bobo & chacha :)
Excellent - great to read a post on the really important stuff!
Charlie does love to keep showing off his marvellous tail!
Its only 10 oclock and I want one of those, Charlie has the right idea.
Hee hee! You tell em Charlie!
I've never had a Bloody Mary, but think I might this weekend!
And one of the FEW drinks you can get away with for breakfast! teehee (that and a mimosa) I love a good bloody mary, and definitely suggest including a cocktail onion and a couple of green olives--the veggies are part of the joy.
And I will go along with spicy V8 as a substitute for all the work... in a pinch, I mean *wink*
Could you email a Bloody Mary over right now please Jen - it'll save me the effort of getting up!!
Charlie are you running to see your friend so quickly you were just a blur in front of my eyes.
sounds good, kit... along with the tabasco, i add a few drops of worchestershire sauce ;)
use clamato [clam/tomato juice] with some celery seed, and you have a bloody caesar... yum, too!
Oh my that sounds really Yummy. Pass one over here please or better yet, we will be right over. We could have such a good time. That sounds like a perfect recipe.
Charlie, you better get your cute butt home.
Have a great week end.
Looks like Charlie couldn't get out of there fast enough.
I love bloody Mary's-do you have spicy clamato juice-it is very Canadian-and we call it a bloody Ceaser.
Yumm
Okay I know I deserved more than 1/2 muffin-but I also had about 10 Lindt chocolates in the afternoon.
Sounds quite refreshing - gin and tonics are too in the same way! Cheers!
hi there,
thx for visiting my blog...hero is now having his sweet moment of his life with me & family...i'm organizing bbq on this july but its too far for you..its ok right??
I like this words : Tenlives & second chances...
and another thing, i like the tomato juice...
Ooh that looks lovely for a sunny day. I'm on the G&Ts, myself.
I'm with Charlie! ;)
oooohhhh. What rotten luck I'm at work. Oh well, cocktail time soon enough! I'm partial to rum drinks but a good Bloody Mary is hard to beat.
Sounds good!
Helllllllllllooo Sweet Charlie!

Excellant idea! As if I needed an excuse on this warm friday evening! Have a great weekend!
Charlie's so funny! 1 drink doesn't make you an alkie.
Fresh lemon is good w/ just about any beverage & as I only drink tea & water you can probably see why I need a fresh lemon & no other kind.
Come back soon, Charlie!
Would you believe I've never had a bloody Mary? Must put it on my to-do list! I don't think I'll like it though - all that tabasco and tomato... x
That actually sounds quite good, I am usually more of a wino. My parents used to make Bloody Mary's with V8.
Kat
Definitely hot chocolate weather down this way!
Oh the arrogance of cats! You capture Charlie's thoughts beautifully.
love the fluffy tail.. :)
take care charlie!!
