If you are having a brunch party, really the best kind of party, I highly recommend a Bloody Mary Bar (BMB). A BMB will allow your guests to a) have fun and b) only get as drunk as they want so they can't blame you when they go can't go out that night because of their drunken 6pm stooper.
This punch is INCREDIBLY easy to make. I got the idea from here but totally adjusted according to my love of spice. I made this for my Chanukah party, which was in December (duh) so we also had Mulled Wine, which isn't appropriate for this season, so I will give you that recipe in the future...
BMB needs will be different depending on how many people you are having at your party, so this is all approximate. As all Bloody Marys go, you must taste and adjust to your wants and needs.
1 46-oz container of vegetable juice (I used V8)
1.5 tablespoon of hot sauce (I used Tabasco)
2 tablespoon of horseradish
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
Combine the first five ingredients and then juice a lime into the mix. (For juicing limes, the trick is to stick a fork into it and twist while squeezing. This will change the way you juice citrus if you don't have a juicer in your home.) Put in salt and pepper. Put in a little more. Mix well and leave this juice a pitcher.
Put the pitcher NEXT TO the handle of vodka that you bought for the party so people know that the vodka isn't in the mix and they must combine themselves. If you want to be classy, you can put the vodka in a separate pitcher as well. Put a couple shot glasses for the pansies that want to actually know how much vodka they are drinking. Put garnishes next to this as well. It is a DIY type of event. The garnishes I had were:
But you can do whatever you want. Seriously. You can't go wrong. Bacon would be great, cheese cubes, shrimps, Slim Jim's, more salt and pepper, pickled okra, pickles, asparagus? carrots? sliders?... get creative!
Most importantly... ENJOY! And don’t forget to have a couple of these bad boys yourself!
