The Lazy Hostess
Putting the 'Ho' Back into Hostess
The Bloody Merry is the ultimate hangover cure. If you’ve woken up from a martini-induced coma feeling like a construction site is going on in your head, this drink will make you feel human again. If you are a big tequila tippler, you can create a Bloody Maria instead. Simply swap out the vodka for tequila. For extra heat you can use jalapeno-infused vodka. This will really get the mercury rising (among other things).
- 3 oz tomato juice
- 1 ½ oz vodka
- ½ oz lemon juice
- 1 dash of Worcestershire sauce
- 3 to 4 dashes Tabasco
- Ground pepper to taste
- Celery stalk, lime or lemon wedge for garnish
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, then strain into an ice-filled pint glass or a red-wine glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge or a high-pitched giggle.
