    This heavily garnished Cucumber Lime Bloody Mary is a cool, citrusy twist on the classic, spicy cocktail! But, have no fear. There's still plenty of spice along with the freshness from the cucumber-lime infused vodka. Crazy delish and easily made as a mocktail!

    Garnish Galore!

    And speaking of garnish... I think that's what ultimately allures us to this Sunday brunch staple. You can go hog wild. Bacon, shrimp, crab, caprese-style, fruit frenzy, you name it! And then there's the mother of all garnishes - LOBSTER.

    Yep, the most elaborate Bloody Mary I've ever met came with a skewer of succulent lobster, thanks to the creative bartenders at White Elephant in Nantucket.

    Creating the Ultimate Bloody Mary

    No surprise I believe a solid Bloody Mary should also double as an off-the-chart appetizer. I oven roasted bacon to crisp perfection and seared well-seasoned shrimp for subtle indulgence. A tomato-mozzarella-olive skewer enhanced color and flavor even more.

    Equipment

    • Cocktail pitcher
    • 6-inch bamboo skewers

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups vodka , high-quality
    • ¼ English cucumber , thinly sliced
    • 1 lime , cut into thin wedges
    • 2 cups pure tomato juice
    • 2 cups Clamato (clam and tomato juice)
    • ¾ cup orange juice
    • ¼ cup lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
    • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
    • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
    • For glass rims: lime wedges, old bay seasoning, kosher or sea salt, black pepper
    • Garnishes: celery stalks, seared shrimp, crispy bacon, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, olives, thinly sliced cucumber, lime, lemon and orange wedges

    Instructions

    • In a glass measuring cup or small pitcher, combine the vodka, cucumber and lime. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
    • In a large pitcher, stir together the tomato juice, Clamato juice, orange juice, lime juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, old bay seasoning, and hot sauce. Make sure all ingredients are cold.
    • On a small plate or shallow bowl, combine enough old bay seasoning with a couple pinches of salt and a few turns of the peppermill to cover the rims of the glasses.
    • To serve, run a lime wedge around each glass rim, then dip into the seasoning mix.
    • Add ice to each glass. Pour 1-2 ounces of cucumber-lime vodka over the ice. Fill the rest of the glass with Bloody Mary mix. Stir to combine with a celery stalk.
    • Taste, and if too spicy, add a little more orange juice. Skewer garnishes as desired with the above suggestions. Cheers!

    Notes

    *To sear the shrimp: Sprinkle extra-large peeled shrimp with the tail intact with old bay seasoning, kosher salt and pepper. Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp on each side for about 2 minutes. Include a shrimp with each cocktail.
