Bacon Bloody Mary Recipe | Cooking On The Weekends (2024)

This Bacon Bloody Mary is made with a delicious list of ingredients -- all to your own taste! It will make for an excellent set-up at your next brunch or co*cktail party.

My husband loves a delicious Bloody Mary, and it pairs quite nicely with Mexican fare, which is his favorite food.

Whenever we're celebrating him -- for his birthday, Father's Day, or just his awesomeness -- I set up a table with all the ingredients he loves in his Bloody Mary, and make a few of our favorite Mexican recipes.

We've come to love a Bacon Bloody Mary. Yep, bacon!

How do you make the best Bloody Mary?

• To taste!
• This is exactly the sort of recipe that should be made to taste.
• To your taste, that is. When you make your own, from the best classic Bloody Mary ingredients, it will be the best! Oh, and even better with bacon!
• The bacon is not so classic -- however, it's absolutely delicious with the other ingredients. (And it looks super cool in the glass.)

Applewood smoked bacon is my favorite, so I thought it would be scrumptious to use it. And then I thought I'd take it a step further and serve the drinks with smoked sea salt. It's a brilliant combination.

How to make bacon strips for a Bloody Mary?

I make bacon for a Bacon Bloody Mary almost the same way I make bacon for breakfast -- in the oven. It turns out perfectly every time. The only difference is that for the Bloody Mary, I sprinkle it with freshly ground black pepper.

1. Sprinkle the raw bacon with freshly ground black pepper.
2. Add the strips, a couple inches apart, to a foil-lined baking sheet.
3. Bake in a 400°F oven until crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

How to Set up a a Bacon Bloody Mary Bar

Find a table space that will be easily accessible for your guests, and hold the below list comfortably. Maybe add a tablecloth, or some cool wooden cutting boards, perhaps a tiny vase of flowers.

Here's what you'll need on the table:

• co*cktail napkins.
• Bloody Mary glasses.
• co*cktail mixer.
• Small ice bucket with ice and small ice tongs.
• One glass filled with strips of cooked bacon.
• One glass filled with stalks of celery.
• One bowl filled with green olives, and one smaller dish next to it with toothpicks for them.
• Pitcher of spicy tomato juice.
• Bottle of super cold vodka. (I love Ketel One, but the choice is yours.)
• Small bowl of lemon and/or lime wedges.
• Small bottle of Worcestershire sauce.
• Small bottle of hot pepper sauce.
• Small plate of coarse smoked salt, a bit larger than the size of the diameter of the glass rim.
• A damp rag to moisten the glass rim before dipping it in the salt.
• Pepper mill.

(The celery and/or bacon strips will serve as stirrers.)

Enjoy your Bacon Bloody Mary!
