I have seen bartenders garnish Bloody Marys with everything.  But I want to hear about the best garnish you have ever had in a Bloody Mary.


Spicy or sweet, hard or soft, any ingredient could be the best idea!


Make my bloody mary great.

I think the old ideas are the best. Garnish it with a small celery stalk with the frilly head still attached for a classy, understated look.

a wedge of lime will always add color and give the consumer the option of spicing their drink up a bit. If you are trying to add visual impact too, you could also add a wedge of lemon and orange.

Garnishing a Bloody Mary
The juicy lime wedge is enough of a garnish, but here's where many like to get creative. A stalk of celery, often with leaves, is probably the next most popular garnish. After that, each bartender has his or her own favorite additives; olives, onions, pickled asparagus spears, even smoked meats have been known to be used as Bloody Mary garnishes.

Too many garnishes can make the drink look like it has been garnished with a salad, though the Bloody Mary undeniably goes well with all those ingredients. An alternative is to serve an appetizer tray of vegetables and salami, mixed cheeses, and a selection of fancy crackers or toasted bread rounds.

Another inexpensive idea thread a skewer or toothpick threw a broccoli or radish. The radish give an extra little bite and is a personal favorite if they are hangover bloody marys

I personally like celery but have found lately most people do not care for celery. I would suggest a carrot palm tree. The base of the palm is made with a carrot and the top with a bell pepper. This would be for home entertaining only obviously too expensive unless your catering to fine diners.

The best Kosher Dill Pickle you can find (and don't forget salt and pepper all over the rim of the glass)...perfection!
