We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but September is just a stone’s throw away. (Yes, we’re in denial, too.) Pretty soon, you’ll be swapping sundresses for sweaters and corn on the cob for chili. But not yet! We’re making the most of August with the cocktail that shines in any season: Bloody Marys.
Summer isn’t the time for fussy gatherings. We’re all about easy brunch recipes and even easier Bloody Marys, thanks to Demitri’s Bloody Mary Seasonings. Light bites, delicious drinks, and a DIY garnish bar make it a party.
The menu
Hit up your local farmers market for inspiration: The tomatoes are juicy, the peppers are crunchy, and the summer squash is just meant to be grilled. Make a veggie-forward frittata with your haul, or try a peach cobbler-inspired French toast casserole. You can even stick with the tomato theme to serve alongside your Bloodys. Think caprese skewers, shakshuka, or a perfectly simple omelet with tomato and avocado.

The beverages
The star of the show! Demitri’s Bloody Marys taste like you made them from scratch, but you can just skip past the hassle of measuring and tweaking—we’ve done the hard work to make hosting a little easier. Add the Meet Demitri’s Kit to your cart to give your guests plenty of options. There’s Chilies & Peppers, Chipotle Habanero, Extra Horseradish, and, of course, the Classic recipe where it all started. Mix and match with the kit’s Original and Bacon Rimshot Rim Salt. Pick your favorite, if you can!
Bloody Marys fit with the no-fuss theme: Just combine seasoning with tomato juice, high-quality vodka (if you want), and ice to chill. Add your salt rim, and you’re almost ready to sip…
The garnishes
…After you garnish! Garnishes transform a simple Bloody Mary into a work of art or even a meal itself. And doing a DIY garnish bar turns a standard brunch into a choose-your-own-adventure experience. While you’re at the market, grab some green beans for a good crunch. Add in the usual fare: celery, lemon slices, olives, pickles, bacon. But don’t stop there! Brunch in style with shrimp, sliders, mini grilled cheeses—do it up big.
Get our ultimate list of garnishes.
Make the most of summer while it lasts. But don’t worry: Plenty of ideas for fall Bloody Marys are coming your way here.
