Patterson WatkinsThis homemade Bloody Mary Mix is fully loaded with vibrant veggies, savory spices, and aromatic ingredients. Roasting the tomatoes, garlic, onions, and jalapeño peppers, our main-mary ingredients, deepens their flavor making this mix so much tastier than the store-bought options.
Campari tomatoes or tomatoes on the vine are known for being well-ripened, extra juicy, sweet, and mildly acidic. Mild to moderate EVOOs still have a lovely pungency and pepperiness, perfectly in balance with the tomatoes. Along with the other roasted veggies (garlic, onion, and jalapeño) this is a relatively basic and easy recipe to make that still tastes fresh, spicy, and complex all at once.

Pair this homemade mix with your favorite top-shelf vodka for a traditional Bloody Mary or mix things up a little with silver or gold tequila for a Bloody Maria.
