The last episode of four in a series on making the perfect Bloody Mary. . Cocktails on the Fly Episode “Bloody Mary Assembly” Alberta: Yay, we are finally ready for the final leg of our journey and you know what I'm getting darn hungry aren't you? All right, liquid meal Bloody Mary finally let's do it. You know this has been a long trip three legs, four legs, and then finally we are there. But it does not matter how long it takes getting there it is the final destination that matters right? Well it also matters how you're getting there, because you want to go there with style. So we're going first-class all the way baby with Flighty, that's right. So here we go we are going to build this Bloody Mary. Now notice all the stuff I have got here, I have got all of the major food groups represented. See because I am making a liquid meal and I do not want you to get malnutrition okay. You have got everything you need here to keep healthy. All right here so we're going to start it off we're going to a just glass with that yummy rock-bottom salt. Remember to be careful that you do not get a glass to wet, just shake off some of the extra citrus. Whoo, whoo, whoo, try not to get in your face, and that way you do not call or salt. There we go, aww its coating really nice, look at that aww so good, so good. All right now we're going to get some of Flighty's hot bloody Mary vodka, I am pouring about an ounce and a half. You might want to use a strainer to make sure you do not get a bunch of seeds and stuff in there. Okay there we go that is about the ounce and a half or maybe a little bit more, flighty likes to fudge when it comes to the alcohol right guys? Okay, so let's add some fresh citrus, here we go, there we go. And then some of our spicy bloody Mary mix, there we go. And you know what is kind of cool is you put your celery in there and you can use your celery as a little stir stick. There we go we are stirring it woo it is going to be good. Okay now it is time to add the ice and the straw, put the straw in their and we are going to put some chunks of the ice in there. Now the thing is I like big ice cubes in my bloody Mary because I really like the thick texture and a big strong flavor of the mix. I do not want a lot of dilution in it, so I just get a couple of nice big ice cubes to keep it really cold but not melt it too quickly. One more little one right here, here we go give it a little thwack, OK top it off and then get a little stir in there. It is getting nice and cold and it is looking tasty. Now you want to be careful I am going to add a little bit more of the mix, but you do not want to fill it up too much because then when you put all of your vegetables and all of your garnishes on there it will overflow and you do not want to overflow it. So I have got the four major food groups represented, I have got some pepperoncini, I have got some spicy beans, I have got capers, I have got shrimp, I've got these yummy olives, I've got cucumbers, cilantro, lemon, so it is time to build your bloody Mary. So first I put some spicy beans in, spicy beans, spicy beans I like saying spicy beans. And then I got some pepperoncini, throw those down, a couple of olives, ok, olives. And then I put some capers in their, and then I will skewer my shrimp with the olives, keep them all together we do not want to lose the shrimp right? Okay there we go ok, that big ol’ skewer is looking good. Okay and take your cucumber and roll it a little bit in your salt that is nice and tasty. Okay there we go, and then we want a little bit of this lemon in here for color and for flavor, you can smell it when you bring the cocktail to your mouth and your lips. And then put a little cilantro, that has also got a nice pungent odor it is very nice it is a delicious, delicious spicy goodness. And then this really cool thing I discovered, we have all had Indian food and we have had turmeric right? Well my friend introduced me into fresh turmeric, you can grate it and it adds a nice color and really kind of a bright spiciness to the top as a garnish. So let's throw that on there, a little bit I grated some, but be careful because it stains your fingers. And there we go we have got a flighty meal, bloody Mary. There you go, tasty, delicious, four major food groups represented, there we go filling. You do not have to stop and then you are drinking your meal, you are drinking and then you have to stop and say oh let's get some food. No, you are right there you are ready to go and then you are out and about on the town. Cheers! Flighty Bloody Mary: 1. Edge a tall glass with Bloody Mary salt. 2.
