How to Host a Bloody Mary Tasting Party

How to Host a Bloody Mary Tasting Party

Tired of your humdrum movie night? Mix up your plans with a Bloody Mary tasting party. Whether your friends are Bloody Mary aficionados or newly initiated members of the fan club, a tasting party is the perfect way to explore all of Demitri’s options. Turn it into a potluck and have everyone bring a dish to share!

This doesn’t have to be an elaborate affair: Invite your friends, turn up the music, and do something a little different than the typical Sunday brunch.

Get your supplies ready

The Meet Demitri’s Kit makes your setup as easy as can be. The kit has everything you need to make Bloody Mary tasting flights for everyone. It includes all four flavors of Demitri’s Bloody Mary Seasonings: Classic, Extra Horseradish, Chilies & Peppers, and Chipotle Habanero. You’ll also get Original and Bacon Rimshot Rim Salt because even if you’re at home, you should never drink an unrimmed Bloody!

Mix up your Marys

Demitri’s Seasonings don’t need a lot of measuring and fussing about. Combine tomato juice, seasoning, and vodka—or skip the vodka in the main batch and let people add their own for even more choices. Check out this blog for tips on making large batches. Perfect every time, in no time!™

Add the good stuff

Now time for the fun part: garnish! One of our favorite hosting hacks is to set up a bar with garnish options galore. From your tried and true (celery and pickled veggies) to your outrageous (soft pretzels and buffalo wings), make sure there are plenty of options to let your friends’ creativity shine. Even if you’re doing small tastes of Bloody Marys, you gotta go big on the garnish!

Let the tasting begin

Which Demitri’s Seasoning will be crowned your group’s winner? (If we were placing bets, we’d guess a four-way tie.) Sip, snack, and enjoy! You can keep doctoring up your Bloodys based on whatever you’re feeling. If you love spice, add an extra dash of Chipotle Habanero. If you are team horseradish all the way, why not add even more Extra Horseradish? Your house, your rules!
