Voodoo Bloody Mary
- Details
Make your next pitcher of Bloody Mary’s with a little Voodoo….or a lot! We gave this favorite beverage a Gulf coast makeover complete with a pickled okra garnish for a recent Cajun & Creole flavor party. This Voodoo Bloody Mary is great right off the bat, but if you’ve got the time make the tomato juice mixture a day ahead, the flavors will settle in even better.
