In the early 1970s, Vincent Price was the celebrity spokesperson for Angostura Bitters. He appeared in a series of print advertisements, each featuring a cocktail or recipe (or both) that includes the herbaceous liquid.
This ad was recently featured on Silver Screen Suppers,
Since I have already mixed up his other Bloody Mary recipe, I had to give this one a try.
Zippy Bloody Marys
Combine:
This was literally the Carole Landis Bloody Mary from earlier this year, but without the lemon juice.
The 2-1 tomato juice to vodka ratio is the same in both cocktails, and I will say that it may be my ratio of choice. Not too thin, not too thick. Not too overly boozy or tomato-y.
This Zippy Blood Mary should rather be called Lazy Bloody Mary; it truly is a lazy drink. But it’s most definitely not the worst Bloody Mary recipe I’ve tried.
For number of ingredients and amount of effort needed: 4/5

Ahh, 4/5 - pretty good! I am going to remember your 3:1 ratio - same as vinaigrette right?! Can't wait for the definitive Yinzerella winner. It's 7am here in London, too early for a Bloody Mary?
Vincent Price seemed like a charming fellow. Meatloaf - pie crust Wellington sounds pretty terrific. Would love a pitcher of zippy marys... Mary Monday!
I'll definitely keep the 2:1 in mind for my next foray. I'm really curious about the Un-wealthy Wellington, though. I recall that you did a Beef Wellington a while back, but I don't think it was this one. Perhaps something for a rainy day?
I did do a DiS Wellington--and it was great!
As I was going through the internet for this post , I came across someone (SyFy perhaps) who tried out this recipe to mixed results.
Early drinking is my new hobby, so this is being added to Recipes to Try. Do you have a favorite Bloody Mary receipt yet? A 5/5?
The 21 Club version is a 5/5

I also have another one coming up that got the top score.
I remember that post - and it sounds great, and the addition of Old Bay is inspired. I'll try it and stay tuned for the one you've got in the hopper. Thanks!
