About the Bourbon Bloody Mary

Spicy and savory, this satisfying riff on the Bloody Mary features a feast of ingredients that gives this cocktail well-rounded flavor with a bold Maker's® boost.

Bourbon Bloody Mary

Do get fresh

Due to the effects of components like tomato acid, it’s best that this cocktail not sit in the fridge. Serve it soon after it’s made.

Beyond cool

Ice does more than just cool your drink. It helps preserve the integrity of the various ingredients in this Bloody Mary for a better-tasting drink. So, don’t skimp on the ice.

If you’re entertaining, set up a garnish bar featuring anything your guests might enjoy in their Bloody Mary. Olives, celery, cornichons, cured meat – it’s all good.
