bunny's hot honey bloody mary
Even the Easter Bunny needs to spice up his glass sometimes.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup carrot juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 oz vodka
- 2 tbsp hot honey (recipe below)
- 2 tbsp dill pickle brine
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1-2 tsp hot sauce, to taste (I like Frank's or Chilula)
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- mini carrot, pickle, olive, and a lemon wedge, for garnish
hot honey
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- To make the hot honey: combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe jar or glass. Heat 1 minute on high. Stir, then zap an additional 20-30 seconds until the granules dissolve. Leftover hot honey will keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
- For an Old Bay rim: brush the rim of a tall glass with regular honey. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning onto a shallow plate, then roll the honeyed rim into the seasoning. Shake off excess.
- In a shaker, combine the carrot juice, orange juice, vodka, pickle brine, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Old Bay. "Roll" the drink between the shaker and another shaker or large glass. Pour into your prepared glass.
- Garnish the cocktail with a carrot, pickle, and olive skewer, and a lemon wedge. Or go as batshit as you want with the decorations. Enjoy!
