    A Taste Of New Orleans In A Bloody Mary

    This New Orleans-inspired Bloody Mary is the perfect cocktail for your next Sunday Brunch at home. It’s a little bit spicy, citrusy, and overall extremely refreshing. Pair it with a crab cake benedict for an excellent brunch combo. 

    A curved cocktail glass with a bloody mary cocktail in it. Topped with a large tiger shrimp, okra, green olive, celery. dill. and a lemon wheel.

    Now, I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve never actually been to New Orleans. The closest I’ve been is New Orleans Square at Disneyland and I highly doubt it’s much like the real deal. However, it’s a place I’ve dreamed of visiting for quite some time. One of my favorite things about traveling is trying the different cuisine from the locations I visit and I know that I would love the food there. Hoping to cross it off of my bucket list someday! Until then, I’ll just pretend with this tasty New Orleans-inspired Bloody Mary. 

    What kind of bloody mary mix should I use?

    Honestly, the choice is yours! I’ve made it with a spicy mix like Mary’s Mixers Spicy Hot or Truly Tipsy’s Mild mix and loved it both ways. Just depends on your mood I suppose. You could also skip a traditional bloody mary mixer and use tomato juice or clamato. If you go that route I would up the seasoning a bit and add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce instead of half.

    What food pairs well with a New Orleans Bloody Mary?

    Brunch food is always a win when it comes to a Bloody Mary. If you’re looking for something that fits the New Orleans vibe I would recommend a seafood omelet or eggs benedict with a side of roasted potatoes. 

    How should I garnish my bloody mary?

    This is where you can have fun! I’m not one to feel the need to have a whole roast chicken or anything like that on my bloody mary’s but I do love taking things further than a simple stalk of celery. If you don’t have any shrimp or prawns on hand you could also use sausage. Select an andouille sausage to keep it on the theme. You could also include fresh parsley or cilantro instead of dill.
