The Bloody Mary is a Southern staple. Any card-carrying Southerner will attest to that. And if you want to impress your friends and keep hangovers at bay, I suggest you have a damn good recipe. We start with our favorite mix as a base—trust me, we’ve tried them all and there’s none better—then let the doctoring up process begin.
