THE RECIPE
How to make a bloody mary with mix
The whole point of a good mix is that the hard part is already done. With Red Eye there's no muddling, no spice rack, no measuring six kinds of sauce — four ounces of mix, an ounce and a half of vodka, ice, garnish. Two minutes, start to sip.

Classic Red Eye Bloody Mary
The easiest way to a bar-quality bloody mary at home.
Prep time
2 minutes
Yield
1 cocktail
Strength
Standard pour
Ingredients
- •4 oz Red Eye Original Bloody Mary Mix
- •1.5 oz vodka (or tequila for a Bloody Maria)
- •Ice to fill the glass
- •Garnish of choice: celery, olives, lime, pickles
Quick tip
Shake the bottle hard before pouring — the spices settle. Build the drink in the glass over ice, stir gently, then garnish. The less you agitate, the better the texture.
FOUR STEPS, ONE POUR
01
Ice it up
Fill a pint glass or a cold mug all the way to the top with ice.
02
1.5 oz vodka
Pour your vodka over the ice. Tequila works too if you're feeling it.
03
4 oz Red Eye
Shake the bottle, top the glass and stir gently — don't beat the air out of it.
04
Load the garnish
Celery, olives, lime, pickled okra, a strip of bacon. There are no rules.
GARNISH LIKE A PRO
Celery stalk
The classic crunch and fresh contrast.
Olives & pickles
Briny bites that cut through the spice.
Bacon strip
Smoky, salty and built for brunch.
Pickled vegetables
Okra, green beans, asparagus — skewer generously.
Beef stick
A protein-packed garnish for the hungry.
Lime wedge
A bright squeeze before the first sip.

WHAT'S IN THE MIX
Vine-ripened tomatoes — more per ounce than any other mix — zesty lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, coarse black pepper, celery seed and a hint of jalapeño. No shortcuts, no fake heat.

THREE WAYS TO SWITCH IT UP
MICHELADA
3 oz Red Eye, top with a cold Mexican lager, lime wedge, salted rim.
VIRGIN MARY
Skip the vodka entirely. The mix carries enough flavor to stand alone.
SPICY BLOODY MARIA
Swap vodka for blanco tequila and add an extra squeeze of lime.
