The Ultimate Bloody Mary

With Friday night on the horizon and the weekend closing in, the mornings after the night before are going to soon become a harsh reality for many of us. Dealing with the repercussions of the antics of the previous night is, we feel, best dealt with through brunch or Bloody Marys, preferably both.

For the ultimate hair of the dog solution, here’s a couple of recipes you shouldn’t be without. We’ve christened them the Ultimate Bloody Marys; you’ll see why once they’ve passed your lips.
