I am sure if you are anything like me than a good cocktail is an essential part of entertaining. I mean honestly your guests did not come to your shindig to drink filtered water out of a plastic bottle. This recipe is all it is cracked up to be and more. For best results mix the ingredients in a large pitcher a couple of hours in advance to allow all the flavors time to meld together. This cocktail is known for its outlandish garnishes so have fun with it and make your friends and family smile. Set up a Bloody Mary bar complete with a cornucopia of garnishment selections.
