It’s enjoyable to make these simple onigiri, too! These rice balls are a common item in Japanese bento lunchboxes. These rice balls can be filled with just about anything; try substituting grilled salmon, pickled plums, beef, pork, poultry, or tuna with mayonnaise.

I took a gallon of this to a Memorial Day Party this year. It was gone in 45 minutes. Very good. You must let this sit overnight to meld the flavors. That is the secret to any good Bloody Mary.
Very good…..I had everything but the hot sauce…which was okay…I don’t like it too hot……I couldn’t wait for it to sit for eight hours….brown sugar and steak sauce made this recipe….It’s probably even better left in the fridge for 8 hours….Next time…
Simple! I wouldn’t change a thing! Thanks for the recipe.
Been looking for a Bloody Mary recipe for a while now, and I must say I’m not too surprised I found the perfect one from OH-IO. Followed recipe exactly making NO changes, and it was incredible. It gets better the longer it sits so make it ahead of time. Go Buckeyes.!!!!
Well, this is a solid recipe. Complex, layered flavors. No alcohol required; it is a delicious drink on its own. I’m withholding the last star until it sits overnight – if it lasts that long. Very good base and easy to tweak to your individual tastes by adjusting ingredient levels. Will update after we taste it tomorrow! But, for sure it is a keeper.
I feel like I’ve been on a search for an outstanding Bloody Mary recipe all my life. I’ve decided to stop here. This is the best I’ve have had after many false hopes at top notch restaurants. There is almost an addicting quality to this concoction (a really good thing!) that as I savor the spice sweet heat, I can’t hep but guzzle. I mean guzzle!!! I’ve tried (I’m guessing here, but trying to be accurate) 30+ recipes and many pre-mixes; including Demitri’s Bloody Mary mix (but their pepperoni straws are outstanding!). This is still my favorite. Only problem is the recipe calls for 46 ozs of V8. Now they sell it in 64 ozs. so you have some math to do in order to make it oh so perfect. Thank you for sharing this outstanding recipe with us!!
the brown sugar is a different twist but I need pickle juice in mine. Also, a good swap for spice/flavor is banana pepper juice.
Next time I’ll skip the steak sauce and double the Worcestershire sauce. Very tasty, now I need to add Vodka. After adding vodka I’ve changed my mind and the steak sauce is a good addition.
Loved it! My Bloody Mary mix is my new afternoon snack and perfect for Weekend brunch bloodys
This was delicious! I didn’t have steak sauce so I used 2 tsp of soy sauce! This us a keeper
Followed the recipe and it turned out bland. I was so hopeful!
Coating the bottom of each glass with a splash of bottled ‘dill sauce’ adds a great flavor to any Bloody Mary. I served it this way when I was a bartender and customers always loved them.
Added 1/4 tsp of minced garlic
Made this a couple of times now & this is the best Bloody Mary mix recipe I’ve come across! It’s way better than anything you can buy at the store. It is a great recipe, as written, but I’ve also made it & added 2 tbsp. of spicy garlic pickle juice…YUM! Thanks for the recipe!
no and yes.
Pretty good stuff. I made two pitchers of mix for a gathering. I didn’t use store bought mix because even if it looks vegan, you never know how Natural Flavoring is made. The brown sugar adds something that is different. I served with spicy dills, pickled beet wedges, garlic olives, and marinated button mushies.
Yum!
I followed this recipe & made no substitutions. It was ok; I didn’t care for the brown sugar although I thought it sounded good. I may try this again sans the brown sugar & pump up the spice with black pepper.
I don’t like Bloody Marys but I do enjoy Bloody Mary mix and this has all of the ingredients for creating the real deal.
I tried this the other day. It wasn’t super spicy and I think it will work well for a brunch. Good recipe.
Delicious! I didnt have steak sauce so I doubled the worcestershire sauce. I used Clamato instead of V-8. I could drink this all the time without the alcohol.
