Game-Day Favorite: Basil Bloody Mary
September 09, 2011
Happy football season to everyone! We are excited about the Alabama/Penn State game and Auburn/Mississippi State tomorrow. I thought I would share this fun game-day recipe for Basil Bloody Marys. I made these on television a couple of times last year for some tailgating shows, and I thought they would make the perfect tailgating drink for this weekend’s games. This recipe rocks-just try it and you will see. Enjoy the weekend!
Basil Bloody Mary
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
Pepper to taste
Garnish: Celery sticks, basil
3 cups vodka (optional)
Note: If you want this with vodka, stir in 3 cups vodka in the pitcher right before serving and mix well.
