Traveling usually means giving up your favorite brunch rituals, especially—gasp—Bloody Marys. Bloody Marys are notoriously hard to make on the go: bulky bottles and a laundry list of ingredients usually make them too complicated if you’re camping or flying. But there’s a much easier way to bring an incredible Bloody Mary with you, and it fits in even the most crammed luggage.
Demitri’s single-serve pouches take the supersized flavor of our Classic Seasoning and condense it into a convenient travel-sized essential.
Traveling isn’t a reason to settle for watery, bland Bloody Marys or overly salty, artificial-tasting mixes. Here’s what you need to know about making restaurant-quality Bloody Marys—from a tent, a hotel room, or even the middle seat on a long flight.
How can I make Bloody Marys while camping or traveling?
The easiest way to make a Bloody Mary while you’re on the go is to use Demitri’s single-serve pouches. They have the same ingredients bartenders use for scratch drinks: Worcestershire, freshly grated horseradish, lemon juice, black pepper, a hint of celery seed, and extra spices to give it that wow factor.
But instead of shoving all those ingredients in the car while you’re trying to get ahead of traffic, you can skip the hassle with a single-serve option.
The foolproof Bloody Mary recipe for 1, ready in seconds
Ingredients:
-
1 Demitri’s Bloody Mary pouch
-
6 ounces tomato juice
-
50 mL vodka (1.7 ounces, the size of those miniature liquor bottles on airlines)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a cup with ice and stir it gently but thoroughly to combine. That’s really all there is to it!
Can you bring Bloody Mary mix through TSA?
Demitri’s single-serve pouches make in-flight Bloody Marys a breeze. Each pouch is TSA-approved at 0.5 fluid ounces, so just put them in a clear bag with your other liquids to enjoy a Bloody Mary beyond the security checkpoint.
You can usually get tomato juice at the airport or on the plane. Order vodka during beverage service, or even gin or tequila for a nice switch-up. Then you’re ready to mix, sip, and enjoy your easy Bloody Mary.
How can I enhance my Bloody Marys while traveling?
Making a Bloody Mary on the go usually means stripping it down to basics—no pizza slices, mozzarella sticks, or sliders on top. But you can still level up your Bloody Mary base with these tips:
-
Add a lemon or lime wedge. If fresh citrus isn’t available, a True Lemon or True Lime packet can add brightness.
-
If you’re camping, fill an insulated water bottle with ice for a well-chilled cocktail.
-
Airports and in-flight menus often have snack boxes with meat and cheese if you want to add garnish without too much fuss. You can also enjoy your Bloody with a pepperoni straw, which doubles as a good snack while you’re camping.
Brunch is an essential on your weekly calendar. And thanks to Demitri’s single-serve pouches, it’s easy to make your favorite brunch cocktail anywhere you go. Bring a six-pack (or a few) on your next trip and enjoy stellar Bloody Marys wherever the wind takes you.
