What are your Bloody Mary recipes looking like?

Pickled okra and bacon.

We have a homemade mix from the garden that we make, then I add some home infused vodka(peppers, onions, olives), one lime and Im set

pickled green beans and okra, olives

don't over think it man

personally, I enjoy when someone leaves the hot sauce out on the table so I can kick mine up a little, sriracha is the best

maybe do the same with your fixins and let everyone decide what they want, then you can go wild with the spread

Any specific type of vodka?

Depends on the budget.

If you want decent vodka for a great price, I'd go with Tito's.

Honestly it's pretty hard to beat Zing Zang as is. I usually add a drop or two of worcester to it, but it's spicy enough for most without hot sauce. If I'm playing bartender I don't add any for others, but my drink gets a few spashes tabasco and sriracha. Same goes for horseradish. Like I said earlier, no two people are gonna want the same seasoning or stuff on their drink, so I'd just lay out the fixings and hot sauce and go from there. If someone insists you make their drink, ask if they like it hot etc.

As for vodka, I only really drink it in bloody marys so I can't be much help there. Just don't go dirt cheap and you'll be fine. I've never used tequila and that sounds gross.

Thinking about doing it big for tomorrow morning.....cheese cube blocks, chunks of steak, bacon strips, pickled asparagus, marinated artichokes hearts, pickled beets, etc etc What do y'all like to add?

Most of those ingredients sound more like a garnish than part of a recipe to me. I do like a Bloody Mary spicy so I do like horseradish, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. I also like to the cut the tomato juice with something to thin it out a bit. I usually use beer, just good ole bud. Some recipes use Dry vermouth and the pickle and olive crowd likes that a lot.
BOL

Tomato juice
