So, first we take the classic Bloody Mary (cocktail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"...recipe as taught by the New York School of Bartending:Then, we adjust for the lazy Japanophile. Omit the celery salt, the tabasco, the horseradish, the lemon or lime juice & the celery stalk. Use V8 or tomato juice, vodka or sake [see below], worcestershire, salt & pepper. Fewer ingredients, the better. And it must be shaken, not stirred, especially since you're omitting the celery.
1 oz. to 1.5 oz. (30-45 ml) vodka in a highball glass filled with ice.
Fill glass with tomato juice
1 dash celery salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 dash Tabasco sauce
2-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1/8 tsp. horseradish (pure, never creamed)
Dash of lemon or lime juice
Garnish with celery stalk.
May be shaken vigorously or stirred lazily, as desired."
So now, the official recipes for the:
"Bloody Samurai"
V8 or Tomato Juice [to taste]*
Vodka [to taste]
Wasabi [to taste]
Worcestershire Sauce [to taste]
Salt & Pepper [to taste]
Shaken, with ice.
"Bloody Samurai's Revenge"
V8 or Tomato Juice [to taste]
Sake [to taste]
Wasabi [to taste]
Worcestershire Sauce [to taste]
Salt & Pepper [to taste]
Shaken, with ice.
*All ingredients "to taste" because who am I to tell you what to do? You know what you like, ignore me. Besides, I don't measure anything. [I have this recurring memory of Dom DeLuise, in his cooking stint, appearing on some daytime talk show shouting "Measure Everything!" while throwing ingredients around haphazardly like a madperson. Defines my cooking and drinking styles, that - And Dom DeLuise was a funny dude.]
All I know is I dig the saltiness of the tomato juice, the savory feel of the worcestershire and the spicy kick of the wasabi. Plus, you know, the alcohol doesn't hurt.
