i was in a bar with a friend a couple of weeks ago when the world cup was going on and US was playing England. the game tied. not only do i have zero interest in “soccer/football,” but i don’t understand how even though you tie a game, you somehow still win it????

whatever, that’s not the point.

so, both the american and british folk in the bar were celebrating because both had tied/won.

so this one british bloke starts a discussion with my friend and i about british vocabulary and how words like “bugger” and “bollocks” should be incorporated into the american vocabulary.

as i sat there and listened to him drudge on and on, i realized that the majority of the words and/or phrases he used as examples began with the letter “b.”

and THEN it dawned on me that i needed to write a drink post soon…

and THEN it dawned on me that everyone needs a good bloody mary recipe.

chances are, when the folks in NYC who are attending the conference wake up on saturday and sunday morning, they’ll pop some advil and then go for one of two things… coffee… or a bloody mary.

the same holds true for us BHAH10 folks. i just prefer the spicay over the coffee when it comes to having a hangover… and a side of bacon never hurts.

so behold, my favorite bloody mary recipe…

1 1/2 ounces vodka (i use absolut peppar)
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
worcestershire sauce to taste
tabasco sauce to taste
1 celery stick for garnish
1 lemon wedge for garnish

*for you super sassy spicay lovas, add a dash of horseradish to the mixture.*

combine the vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, tabasco, a cup ice cubes, and salt and pepper to taste, shake the mixture well, and strain it into a tall glass filled with ice cubes.

garnish that bitch with the celery stick and lemon wedge after dipping the lemon-juiced rim of the glass in a combination of crushed black pepper and sea salt.

and while you’re drinking that bitch do me a favor and go win yourself a purse
