This is my Wisconsin version of a classic Bloody Mary drink. On special occasions, garnish with skewered bite-sized pieces of Wisconsin Cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepperoni, salami, green olives, or cocktail shrimp. Best when consumed before noon.
Ingredients
- 4 ice cubes
- 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger vodka
- 3 pimento-stuffed green olives
- 1 tablespoon brine from olive jar
- ½ teaspoon celery salt, plus more for garnish
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 3 dashes hot pepper sauce (e.g. Texas Pete's)
- 1 cup tomato and clam juice cocktail
- 1 stalk celery, with leaves
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large tumbler with ice cubes. Pour in vodka, then add olives and brine. Season with celery salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Top with tomato and clam juice cocktail. Stir with celery stalk and leave in as a garnish. Sprinkle with additional celery salt before serving.

I just made this recipe last night, and it was the BEST! I made it exactly the same except I used zesty pickle juice and pickles instead. Mostly because I was out of olives. Will definately try olive juice though. Maybe it is a Wisconsin thing, but I always love Clamato the best. :o) If you like a very thick V8 style bloody mary, this is probably not for you though. I added slightly less hot sauce the second time, because I found it to be a bit spicey for my taste. If you do not like them very spicey add the hot sauce to taste. We are having bloody marys this weekend, so my husband wanted me to make pitchers of this recipe for everyone! I will use this recipe over and over! Enjoy!

As a Wisconsin bartender, I can attest that this recipe is quite authentic.
In Madison, we often substitute a pickle for the celery garnish, and pickle brine in addition to the olive brine.
Beer (especially a good stout) is a good addition, but I think beer is best served separately with the bloody as a chaser.

Best bloody I’ve found so far! Probably the MSG (nom nom nom). But still, it’s hard not to fiddle with. I like to use Sriracha for the hot sauce, add some garlic powder or pressed garlic, cocktail onions and/or brine, garlic-stuffed olives, and the occasional cilantro shredlets.
If you like this, you should really try a Michelada – Allrecipes has a version!

Alright, it’s sort of authentic. I bartend in Green Bay and I make mine a little differently. I build mine in this order:
Ice,
5 shakes celery salt,
Squeeze of juice from one lemon wedge,
5 shakes Worcestershire,
2 drops steak sauce,
3 drops Tabasco,
2 shakes Old Bay Seasoning,
*Vodka,
Tomato juice (stir after adding or Worcestershire will pool at bottom),
2 fresh olives,
2 shrimp,
1 beef stick,
1 stick Colby-Jack Cheese,
1 pickle, and
1 fresh lemon wedge
– That’s an authentic Wisconsin brunch Bloody! -

It’s “okay” I guess. I live in Milwaukee and to anyone who lives here- you can’t visit the city without going to Cafe Benelux in the third ward area and try their “Stinkin Rose” bloody Mary. Mix is made from scratch. Uses fermented vodka, garnished with beef stick (made in Wisconsin of course), shrimp, pickled green beans, cheese, olives. I do however like how simple this recipe is if you don’t have a lot of time to make your mix from fresh tomatoes.

We enjoyed this immensely! It is far from our standard Bloody Mary recipe, but we will no doubt make these again. The Clamato was refreshing, light, and a good base for the balance of the ingredients. I recommend this for those who like subtle change with a touch of the standard.
