If you love a classic Bloody Mary but want to try something a little different, this refreshing version with a hint of dill is sure to brighten your brunch. It’s easy to make and adds a unique, savory twist that’s perfect for any occasion.
Start by pouring some chili-lime seasoning onto a small plate. Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a pint-sized jar, then dip the jar’s edge into the seasoning so it sticks. Fill the jar with about a cup of ice and set it aside for now.
Next, grab a cocktail shaker and add the rest of the ice along with the Bloody Mary mix, pickle juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Squeeze in a wedge of lime and a wedge of lemon for a fresh citrus kick.
Take a sprig of fresh dill, roughly chop it, and toss it into the shaker. Put the lid on and give everything a good shake for about 10 seconds to blend those flavors together.
Finally, strain the mixture into your prepared jar. Garnish with a pickle spear and a few sprigs of dill, plus the remaining lime and lemon wedges for a bright, tasty finish. Enjoy!
- Use fresh dill for the best aroma and taste.
- Chill all ingredients before mixing to keep the drink crisp.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your heat preference.
This cocktail offers a refreshing and savory twist on a classic favorite. The addition of dill adds a unique herbal note that brightens the drink and complements the tangy tomato base. It’s perfect for brunch or any time you want a bold, flavorful beverage.
Serve in a tall glass with ice and garnish generously with a sprig of dill and a lemon wedge. It pairs wonderfully with brunch dishes like eggs Benedict or smoked salmon. Add a celery stalk for a classic touch.
Make the tomato mixture ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep the vodka separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness. Stir gently before pouring over ice.
