It's perfectly okay. Bloody Mary's are often our lifesavers, so how could you not love them. Wake up the next day with no desire to get out of bed, an upset stomach, or a pounding headache? Bloody Mary time!
It may sound crazy to cure your hangover with more alcohol, but it works! The tomato juice actually contains electrolytes including sodium and potassium and many vitamins such as the antioxidant vitamin C, Lycopene and Vitamin B6. Let's just say the benefits from these fix us. Okay, now the vodka. Its main benefit is to mix with the alcohol still remaining in you and give you that little buzz to make it all better.
Now if you really want a good Bloody Mary, don't go the easy way with the mix because it's the tomato juice you want, not the sugary processed mix. Whether it's tomato juice or vegetable juice, both of which are the best options compared to Bloody Mary mix, you will still reap the benefits. Next, don't forget all the goodies you can jazz it up with! Following these steps to make your Bloody Mary just right.
Decide on whether you want tomato juice or vegetable juice.
Remember, no Bloody Mary mix!
Add the vodka of preference.
Ideally, I wouldn't go cheap. After all, you are trying to heal your hangover, not make it worse right?
Do you like it spicy?
If so, choose the perfect hot sauce and drop in a dash (or a couple of dashes) of that!
Are you a lemon girl or a lime girl?
Whichever it is, add that juice in too! It adds for a nice tang.
Lastly, it's the fun stuff.
Add celery, jalapenos, pickles, olives, bacon, asparagus, cucumber slices, artichoke hearts, or even shrimp! They all work and they'll just make your Bloody Mary even better. The best part is that it'll give you something to munch on!
Whether this supported your decision to have a Bloody Mary or simply gave you a new way to make yours. I hope it helped.
