A Meat Lover's Bloody Mary

I didn’t make it over to Bear Tooth to try one of their smoked salmon chipotle bloody marys, but I did manage to pick up a bottle of, according to the cashier at Brown Jug Warehouse, the extremely popular Alaska Distillery Smoked Salmon Vodka. The vodka was surprisingly mild, a nice smoky flavor that isn’t overpowering and just a slight salmon aftertaste. It does not taste like drinking a filet whirled up in a food processer that I feared it might. Last night I created my own concoction based on the Bear Tooth idea, which I dub the Artery Clogger Mary. It is less of a libation and more of a delicious late night meal. It really hit the spot after two hours of yoga and boxing.

Here are the ingredients:
Drink
Smoked Salmon Vodka
V8 [I used regular and doubled up on the hot sauce, but I think the Spicy V8 may be the way to go next time.]
Chipotle Tabasco Sauce
Horseradish
Worcestershire Sauce
Lemon Juice
Black pepper
Celery salt
Ground cumin

Garnish
4 slices of pepperoni
2 jalapeño stuffed olives
1 Alaska Sausage Company Hunter Snack Stick cut in half
2 stalks pickled asperagus
