Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Keto Bloody Mary
Now that we've got our ingredients sorted, let's get down to business! Follow these simple steps to create your keto-friendly Bloody Mary:
1. Prep your glass: Before we start mixing our cocktail, prepare your glass by rubbing a lemon wedge around the rim and then dipping it in a mixture of coarse salt and black pepper. This adds a nice touch of flavor with each sip.
2. Mix the base: In a shaker or large glass, combine 1 oz. of lemon juice, 2 oz. of tomato juice, 1 oz. of sugar-free Worcestershire sauce, and 1-2 tsp. of grated horseradish (depending on how spicy you like your Bloody Mary). Give it a good stir to make sure everything is well combined.
3. Spice it up: Now's the time to add some heat! Add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the mix. You can always add more later if you want an extra kick.
4. Add
22 Salute™ vodka: Pour in 1.5 oz. of vodka and give your cocktail another good stir to make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Shake or stir: If you're using a shaker, fill it with ice and give it a good shake for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute your cocktail. If you're mixing in a glass, fill it with ice and give it a good stir to achieve the same effect.
6. Pour and garnish: Strain your
keto-friendly Bloody Mary into your prepared glass, and garnish with some fun low-carb options like olives, pickles, or celery. Feel free to get creative here!

And there you have it! A delicious,
low-carb Bloody Mary that won't throw your keto diet off track. Enjoy this guilt-free cocktail at your next weekend brunch or whenever you're craving a spicy, savory treat. Cheers to keeping your taste buds happy and your waistline trim!
