Rum Toddy please

[Sunbeam]

I have been too ill this year so far... Now its "acute pharyngitis" with a suspicion of strep.
I thought it was a cold...
The worst is the fever...
No the worst is the sneezing...
No the worst is the absence of a RUM TODDY!!!

I always said you a cute pharyngus!

Bartender! A toddy fer da hottie!!!!! (even if she is wheezing and dribbling like a bulldog. heheheh)

One Toddy, coming up!

[Sunbeam]

Bartender - a Bloody Mary please. I feel a need for health food.

I'm at the stage of getting well where I am crippled by my own weakness, still snuffling like an armadillo in wet woods, and being a total pest.
Thank you all for putting up with my multiple posts today.

Hmm... Some tomatoes, black pepper, Siracha, Tabasco, and tomato infused vodka into the blender... aaaand...

WHHHHHIIIIIIIIRRRR!!!!!!

Pour and serve. One fresh bloody mary!

OH! Forgot to garnish with pickled greenbeans!

Whoa dude! That's a lot of pica. Tabasco AND Siracha?
I like the way you have added fresh tomatoes to tomato flavored vodka...

Here's my fave recipe -
Beefeater's Gin
Tomatoe juice
tomato sauce
ice
salt
pepper
green olives (stuffed with pimento)
Celery stick
Dash of Tabasco

Fill a glass half up with Beefeater's. Taste. Is it too harsh? Each bottle has its own special needs.
Add a teaspoon of tomato sauce... stir. Taste, did that ease the burn?
Add a tablespoon of the juice of the olive... stir. Taste...
Add a splash of tomato juice, salt pepper.
The glass should now be 3/4 full.
Add ice to fill. Stir. Taste
Garnish with celery and olives.
Stir. Taste.

Ah HA! See what she did there? "Taste... Taste... Taste..."

She intentionally starts out with an incomplete drink she KNOWS needs lots of help. By the time she has it right, its gone and she must make another.

Uh-huh. I'm watchin you, Beams...

[chuckularone]

I don't use much of the Tabasco or Siracha, I just like the combination of flavors.

NOTHING beats fresh (as in made as I made the drink) tomato juice. Though I have to admit it's not my recipe. It's Alton Brown's.

Bloody Mary's should be chewed not drank... The thicker and spicier the better.

Ohhhhh I could bring down Clamato juice, I dont think you guys have it in the US. From my understanding they use tomato juice. Its just not the same, not even close.
