In honor of our newest team member, Brittany Sitz, being a Columbus native and proud Buckeye, we are sending a shout out to her and her team by featuring Ohio state's official juice - TOMATO JUICE! And while tomato juice is yummy on it's own, this wouldn't be a happy hour blog without offering some of our FAVE takes on the Bloody Mary!
These are sure to keep tailgaters in Ohio and beyond refreshed, filled with vitamin C, and ready to cheer on their favorite team! Cheers!
1 46oz container Tomato or Vegetable Juice
(we love R.W Knudsen and Trader Joe's low sodium, both organic)

1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Pick your Poison:
1/2 - 1 cup Vodka
Sick of the Same Old?
Try a different variation. Or become the ultimate host and offer a Bloody Mary bar!
Feeling Spicy?
Try Stolichnaya's Jalapeño Flavored Vodka. Careful- this is hot! Balance the heat with some bleu cheese stuffed olives.
Bacon Lover?
Use Bakon Vodka for a boost of flavor. You can season this bloody mary with celery salt and horseradish (for spicy). Throw in a thick slice of peppered bacon and a celery stalk to garnish.

Not up for Vodka?
USE TEQUILA! It's called a Bloody Maria & lucky for you, the smokiness pairs really nicely with the tomato flavor. Play it up with a teaspoon of dijon mustard and garnish with cucumber and lime.

Experiment with some new garnishes. Pair your bloody mary with pickled vegetables, radishes, mozzarella balls, dill pickles, cheery tomatoes, carrots,
