Hey champ, be a sport and head to bed. Adults are talking here.

lol i had some safari-sight obnoxious woman sitting at my bar today picking apart every step of my crafting of her non-spicy bloody mary, complaining that it wasn't strong enough, and tipping me ~ 3% after i threw an extra shot of vodka in for free, so bloody marys just make me mad right now

seriously though i feel like you could shotgun a tomato and achieve the same effect

Let me guess you're not a tomato fan.

i am... in my salads

Would love a good recipe from you.

it largely depends on how you want it... one-size-fits-all drinks are never quite as successful reaction-wise. do you like them spicy? non-spicy? REALLY spicy? citrusy? sweet? bitter?

if i'm making a decently spicy one i start with ice in the glass (building on rocks is better than tossing it in a tin from the get-go) and add vodka (absolute or ketel one, occasionally level or three olives, or if you want a potato vodka go with blue ice or chopin.) from there i add a couple dashes of salt, a couple of dashes of pepper (how many depends on how spicy you want it) and then a pinch of sugar. a fair amount of worcestershire sauce on top of that (and if you want a citrusy bite, squeeze a lemon wedge in next.) you can toss tomato juice on top to finish it off, but i usually use major peter's mix (comes pre-spiced so all you have to do is add vodka, but it's much better if you build it with spices initially.) toss tobasco sauce on top to spice it up and pour it once into a tin to mix it, and back into the glass. garnish with a celery or onion spear (or lemon wedge, again, if you're into citrus.)

there are a lot of variations but this one has been extraordinarily successful for me.

I want a little kick but cannot do spicy. Would you advise the above recipe using tomato juice without the tobasco?...or ?????????

yeah just skip the tobasco entirely then. everything else is fine, even the pepper (just don't overload it.)

Also PhillyB......what do you suggest as a celebration on Sat morning if I think I had a great interview on Fri?

i would recommend a pisco sour, but good luck finding any bar outside of latin america, south america, the west coast or special boutique bars that actually make it. it's the national drink of peru and is out fugging standing. i coerced my bar into ordering a case and i make them all the time for customers that want to try something new. pisco (peruvian brandy) lemon juice sugar angostura bitters and an egg white blended together. it sounds a little weird but they are good morning drinks, or post-hangover drinks, very refreshing, completely different from almost anything you've ever had before.

if you can find a mexican or south american restaurant they may have it, but i've yet to find one.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.

      Not even what that's about. Moreover, remember that search engines are a tool.
