5 Amazing Bloody Mary Garnishes An ice cream sundae would be nothing without a cherry on top. Well, the same goes for the Bloody Mary. The toppings are an integral part of your enjoyment of the drink. Often our favorite part of ordering a Bloody Mary at a new place is being surprised by what they’ve garnished it with.
We are used to adding a dash of hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, or black pepper to add flavor to our favorite Bloody Mary, but what makes a good Bloody Mary garnish? Opinions differ here and it depends on what you want in this tasty breakfast drink. Some people don’t want a ton of food in their Bloody Mary. They want to get a buzz to have room to drink a few of them, rather than filling up on tasty garnishes. Some people go for a simple celery stalk, lemon wedge, or even a little horseradish while others love finding items they’d like to order for breakfast in their Bloody Mary. Think waffles or bacon or even deviled eggs. With the breakfast and drink in one, we’re saving both time and money, right? Still others are in it for the wow factor. They want a drink crammed with garnishes to share with friends, something they can take a picture of and post to their Instagram or Facebook accounts. Whichever camp you’re in, there’s plenty of room to have some fun with your drink and to add whichever kind of accoutrement your heart desires. Cocktail garnishes have a rich tradition. People have been using garnishes for as long as they’ve been creating drinks. They bring a sense of personality and finesse to a cocktail. We’ve seen everything from sugary, gummy-monkeys who hang on to the glass by their tails to flags to flaming pieces of fruit.
