Peppered Bacon Bloody Mary

Peppered Bacon Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary’s are pretty delicious on their own, but Bloody Mary’s with thick cut peppered bacon?! Even better! It’s like breakfast in a glass AND you have a wonderful buzz when you’re done. Hmmm speaking of which.. I haven’t had breakfast yet.. ; )

…..

Makes about 4 Bloody Mary’s

Ingredients:

3 cups tomato juice

1 cup vodka

1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce

½ Tbs hot sauce

1 tsp celery salt

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more for bacon

Juice from half a lemon

Juice from one lime

Half of a jalapeño – remove seeds and rinse if you want yours a little less spicy.

4 strips of thick cut bacon

4 celery sticks

 

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add bacon strips. Sprinkle fresh ground pepper on top and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and sprinkle the other side with pepper. Continue to cook and flip often until bacon is stiff but not too crispy. Place on a paper towel to cook and set aside.

Combine all ingredients except the bacon in a pitcher and stir well. Place bacon strip, celery, and any other garnishes into glasses and then fill with ice. Strain into glasses and serve!

Enjoy!
