As every year passes here in Bermuda, sadly….Thanksgiving Holiday seems to disappear. \u00a0As Thanksgiving is not a holiday in Bermuda and since our immediate family is in California, it is not the big holiday it once was for us.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But this year we had decided that starting in 2017, I will take this day off and we will celebrate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On my way home today I was craving a Bloody Mary. \u00a0When I stopped at the local liquor store in Somerset Village, SpencerIsland, I noticed that every Bloody Mary mix had a ton of High Fructose syrup….so I decided to make my own from scratch. \u00a0And…for my first try, it was pretty damn good.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This will be my recipe, until I can get the recipe from Hemmingway’s<\/a>, a place we found in the heart of Florence, Italy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, here it goes:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
32 oz V8 (which gives you tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lets, watercress & spinach)<\/div>\n
14.5 oz can organic crushed fire roasted tomatoes (don’t ask, I just added this)<\/div>\n
1 tsp crushed garlic (I would have used horseradish, but I didn’t have any)<\/div>\n
2 tsp black pepper<\/div>\n
Dash or 2 of tobacco<\/div>\n
Juice of one lemon<\/div>\n
Juice of 2 limes<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Place in blender…and blend, set aside<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a shaker add the following<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ice<\/div>\n
Pinch of salt<\/div>\n
Dash (or 2) of Worcestershire sauce<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Add 1.5 – 2 oz Tito’s Gluten free Vodka (or 2.5 ounces..)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pour in newly blended mix made earlier<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Shake and serve w garnish of choice<\/div>\n
