Instructions
- For this recipe, a few ingredients need to be prepped before everything gets poured and chilled together.
- First make the roasted garlic (FAQs if you want to skip this step). Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) cut the top of garlic bulb so the tops of each clove have been sliced off. Then place the bulb in the middle of a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle about ½tbsp (7.5ml or 6g) of olive oil over the top and wrap up the whole thing so it won't leak. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
- While the garlic is roasting, grate the ginger, squeeze the citrus juices, and mix all of the other ingredients together into a lidded container. When the garlic is done, separate a clove from the bulb and whisk it into 1-2 tbsps (15-30ml) of mixed Bloody Mary liquid, to make sure it dissolves into the cocktail. Add the garlic mixture to the container and stir or shake vigorously to combine the paste.
- Place the container in your refrigerator to chill for 2+ hours, so the ingredients can imbue the cocktail evenly. Once your Dirty Bloody Mary Cocktail is fully chilled, it's time to assemble. Prep your glass with a salted rim if desired. Then, stir the cocktail once more, pour over ice, and garnish with skewered olives, a slice of citrus, or a stalk of celery. (See FAQ for more options)
Notes
- The recipe above makes roughly 4 drinks with 1.5oz (45ml) of vodka per drink, depending on your pour and the amount of ice in your glasses. If you want a strong cocktail, add an additional ¼ cup (60ml or 2oz) of vodka to the container.
- Make this cocktail 24hours ahead for easy serving. After that, the citrus starts to lose its brightness.
- For an easy mocktail, sub soda water (preferably lemon) for the alcohol.
