Bloody Mary Mixer

When I reviewed Three Olives’s tomato vodka, I said that I don’t ever use a pre-made bloody mixer. That was true until last night.

I sent Tucker out to Target to get some tomato juice since I wanted another Bloody Mary and he came back with Mr and Mrs T’s Premium Bloody Mary Mix.

His rational? “Well, I knew you were going to make a Bloody Mary so I thought that I’d make it easier on you.”

I gave him a withering look, but he had been trying to help so I didn’t say anything. I read the list of ingredients and was a bit dissapointed to read the High Fructose Corn Syrup part. I just knew that this was going to be another of those mixers that tries to make a Bloody Mary into a sweet girly drink.

Since Tucker had already bought the stuff and I didn’t have anything else to mix my tomato vodka with [Don't mix tomato vodka with strawberry daiquiri mix. Trust me.] I gave Mr. and Mrs. T’s a try.

I dumped a couple of handfuls of ice into my glass, mixed my drink three parts mixer to one part vodka and gave the concoction a taste.

Surprisingly good.

There’s a hint of horseradish in there with plenty of garlic and a tiny bit of spice. It’s almost meaty without being too sweet. I guess if you’re in desperate need of a Bloody Mary and don’t have the patience to mix up your own mixer then Mr. and Mrs. T’s is a pretty decent safe bet.
