Smokin’Ts Bloody Mary

Bold. Briny. Smoky. The Ultimate Brunch Cocktail.

Brunch just leveled up. This Smokin’ Ts Bloody Mary delivers that signature tangy, smoky kick with a savory blend of vodka, pickle brine, horseradish, and spice. Garnished with citrus and a classic Wisconsin favorite—string cheese—this cocktail is a meal in itself and a conversation starter every time.

🧾 Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz vodka
• 1 oz Smokin’ Ts (Original or With a Kick)
• 1 oz pickle brine (from dill pickles)
• 1 tsp prepared horseradish
• ¼ tsp celery salt
• ⅛ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 slice fresh lime
• 1 slice fresh lemon
• 1 oz stick of string cheese (for garnish, halved or skewered)

Optional garnishes: celery stalk, pickle spear, cherry tomato, beef stick, olives

🍹 Instructions:

1. Prep the glass:
   Run a lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass and dip into a mix of celery salt and cracked pepper for a zesty rim.
2. Mix the drink:
   In a shaker or glass, combine vodka, Smokin’ Ts, pickle brine, horseradish, celery salt, and cracked pepper. Fill with ice and stir or shake well.
3. Garnish and serve:
   Pour into a tall glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lemon and lime slice, a skewer of string cheese, and any extra fixings your Bloody-loving heart desires.

🔥 Why It Works:

Smokin’ Ts gives this Bloody Mary a deep, smoky flavor you don’t get from tomato juice alone. Pickle brine and horseradish bring the bite, while citrus and cheese round it out with freshness and fun. It’s bold, briny, and beautifully balanced.

🍳 Perfect Pairings:

• Serve with a big brunch spread: bacon, eggs, and hash
• Pair with spicy pickled veggies and deviled eggs
• Add a mini slider or shrimp skewer for next-level garnish game
