Breakfast & Brunch Drink Gatherings

Shakin’ Mary

By Bobby Lozano

Who doesn’t love a Bloody Mary? One of Bobby’s go-to brunch drinks got a new twist. By adding Shakin’ the Tree, Bobby was able to add both citrus and heat to his drink. This Dizzy Pig seasoning perfectly blends with tomato juice and hot sauce to create an amazing mix. Serving a crowd? Throw everything in a pitcher and it refrigerates wonderfully.

For Shakin’ Mary

2 cups Vodka
4 cups tomato juice
Juice from a whole lemon, approximately 3-4 Tbsp
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2-4 Tbsp hot sauce
1 Tbsp olive brine
2 Tbsp Dizzy Pig Shakin’ the Tree Lemon Pepper seasoning
For added heat, add 1-2 Tbsp of prepared horseradish

Optional Garnishes

Celery stalks, olives, lemon wedge, grape tomatoes
Additional Dizzy Pig Shakin’ the Tree for rimming glasses

Directions

Make Bloody Mary

In large pitcher, add the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, olive brine, and 2 Tbsp of Shakin’ the Tree seasoning
At this point, you can either add the vodka of your choice or leave it out for a Virgin Bloody Mary
Once the mixture is combined set aside

Serving

On a small plate, sprinkle 1-2 Tbsp of Shakin’ the Tree. Run a sliced lemon over the rim of a pint glass and dip it into the seasoning. The lemon juice will work as an adhesive for the seasoning
Add ice to the glass and pour to serve
Garnish with your favorite toppings. I try to stay classic with olives, celery, and a slice of lemon. The fun part of Bloody Mary’s is the ability to change it up. Add sliced pepperoni, bacon, banana peppers, or whatever your heart desires
