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

  1. 01

    Ice it up

    Fill a pint glass or a cold mug all the way to the top with ice.

  2. 02

    1.5 oz vodka

    Pour your vodka over the ice. Tequila works too if you're feeling it.

  3. 03

    4 oz Red Eye

    Shake the bottle, top the glass and stir gently — don't beat the air out of it.

  4. 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.

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.
