I decide to follow the rest of the directions and actually add vodka too :-). I poured in the Absolut, added the best olives ever (Novia del Sol Spanish manzanilla), a pickled asparagus spear, and gobbled it down with some spicy Italian pepperoni and whole grain crackers. Yum.

If you like horseradish in your BM, you'll probably really enjoy this mix! It had a nice flavor, not to overwhelming. The fresh ingredients were well balanced and complemented the veg juice well. I would have like a little more peppery kick, but the nice thing about a home brew is you can doctor it to taste. I may try it with a little Tabasco next time.

I actually didn't rate this one cause I didn't want to be rude to my dinner guests and play with my iPhone. All I remember was that it was average in every way.

Great food with lots of vegetarian options and an eclectic mix. The bloody was very flavorful, spicy, and salted around the rim. Tabasco gave the kick. The mix had a very hand-made taste. The pickled bean was awesome! It had a unique, smoky flavor. They are homemade at Isabel.

Great peppary flavor with a clean simple essence. Very tasty and a good pour. Light and yummy!

Made with aloha by my friend Braden at his home in Hawaii. Edi & Braden are long time friends of ours and have a beautiful home in Kahala. Pickled onions & pickles adorn this yummy BM. The addition of Maui vodka makes it extra special!

Light an flavorful with just the right amount of horseradish. A house recipe that has been around for ages, so the waitress says. Almost has a taste of pickle juice.

Enjoyed this dining with Vicki & Jed Taufer after our Vermont workshop. It also instigated some research in to tipping ettiquite, which revealed that typically you tip 10-15% on wine, and the usual 15-20% on food, indicitve of service, of course.
