I would add fresh ginger I think.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Do you think it would be possible to make candied bacon?

i have maple bacon lollipops at my house. no lie.

that said, i wouldn't suggest cooking bacon in sugar. i think it might burn. but you could probably get away with a syrup glaze or tossing it in brown sugar after you pulled it out of the pan. that would probably give you the candied effect. it would be messy and delicious.

I just add A-1 to my Bloody marys from anywhere and BAM So good.

was thinking that glazing with a gingered simple syrup with gelatin added as a hardener might work and taste weird and good (see also molasses)

i'm intrigued by this idea. on paper it seems like it should work - not sure about the gelatin - maybe just use a higher/hotter sugar mixture so that when it cools it hardens? or hell, try both. it sounds like a fun experiment. i'd also think the fat/grease on the bacon might impact how it sets. maybe you'd have to "dry" the bacon first. i'd like to hear about your findings.

also, this thread has derailed. sorry.

in an effort to get back on track: TRJL has mentioned a place on the west side called funugyz (i think that's how it's spelled) that has a bloody mary bar on sundays. haven't tried it, but any place that let's you build your own is worth mentioning.

what about adding vodka to a tomatoey ceviche recipe?

TRJL has mentioned this as well to myself in the past, and sounds great until you realize you are at like 100th ave and happy valley and have no safe way of getting home.

Plus, it's a gay (i.e. Broncos) bar.

Aren't all Broncos bars gay bars?

DUKES at mcdowell and miller is an alright sports bar (ie:not great, not terrible) has a make yr own bloody mary bar on sundays. ive never really made use of it so i cant speak of its quality though.

[zyko]

my bloody marys are bloody delicious

[Vacuum Tube Antimatter]

next time i make them i think i'm going to replace my celery with a strip of bacon.

ha!

thats....thats really not a bad idea

yeah, i'm not joking. i don't know how much flavor a strip of bacon is going to impart into the drink, but i know a lot of recipes include worcestershire (sp?) sauce and/or bullion. and bacon is 10,000 times better than either of those things. maybe crumble a little bit of bacon in with the vodka and then put it in a shaker with the tomato juice? i don't know.

oh, and DB, thanks for the recipe link!

you get my vote as best new cummer.

My guess is bacon flavored vodka would be vegatarian friendly. Win Win !

I love my beer but I dig a good bloody mary. It's tradition for me when I fly, although on a plane it's pretty basic.

Bacon and pickled asparagus spears are perfect garnish for bloody marys. Also, fresh grated horseradish.

[differently biotic]

cornish pasty co. has a bloody mary bar on sundays too.

[mikemfer]

I was watching a show called "Good Eats" on Food Network and the host made bloody marys. He explained that in his opinion, Americans over-garnish their bloody marys and he presented his own version of the classic bloody mary. I thought the tomato vodka he made looked pretty awesome.

Go here.

I'd love to try that out. Of course, I think it still needs bacon.
