National Bloody Mary Day: Your Ultimate New Year's Recovery

Is there anything more fitting than National Bloody Mary Day falling on the 1st of January? While everyone else is pretending they're going to stick to dry January (sure you are), we're here celebrating the one drink that actually makes New Year's Day bearable. The Bloody Mary: part breakfast, part revival and (normally) entirely necessary.

New Year's Day Needs a Bloody Mary

Look, New Year's Day calls for something substantial. Something savoury that feels like an actual meal. Something that brings you back to life without making you feel worse. That's the Bloody Mary.

Whether you've been out celebrating or you just stayed up watching the fireworks with a few glasses of fizz, waking up on January 1st requires something more than toast. It requires tomatoes, spice, and a garnish you can pretend counts as vegetables.

How to Make Yours

Start with vodka if you want it (or don't – a Virgin Mary is just as restorative, promise). Ice in the glass, pour in The Pickle House Spiced Tomato Mix, squeeze of fresh lemon, and garnish with whatever you fancy. Celery, pickle spear, olives – there are no rules.

Want to rim your glass with our Bloody Mary salt? Do it. Want to add a dash of our Pickle Juice for extra tang? Absolutely. Want to go full maximalist with bacon, prawns, and a mini burger balanced on top? We're not here to stop you. The Bloody Mary is one of the few drinks where more is absolutely more.

Here's to New Beginnings

So on this National Bloody Mary Day, raise your glass (celery garnish and all) to fresh starts, to savoury drinks that actually taste like food, and to the one cocktail that genuinely makes January 1st better.

Happy National Bloody Mary Day from all of us at The Pickle House. Here's to 2025.
