You don't need to be after some hair of the dog to enjoy the spicy, savory flavors of a bloody Mary. If it's a brunch occasion, go crazy with the garnishes and make up some photo-worthy drinks.
6 ounces tomato juice
1/2 ounce lemon juice
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 drops Tabasco sauce
1 dash celery salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
ice
salt and pepper, to taste
celery stalk
Combine the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, celery salt, and sugar in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well to combine and chill.
Strain the drink into a chilled glass (ice optional). Season as desired with salt and pepper. Serve with a celery stalk as garnish. If desired, rim the glass with black pepper before serving.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
