The start of the year is dedicated to toasting new beginnings, and what better way to start the celebration than with a brunch cocktail, or more specifically, a Bloody Mary. In addition to New. Year’s Day, today is also National Bloody Mary Day - a time to appreciate the classic beverage along with its many taste and garnish possibilities.

How do you make your Bloody Mary? After your base of tomato juice and vodka, what spices or other flavorings do you reach for? Do you like it spicy or mild? What is your go-to garnish? The standard celery stick? Maybe olives, a lime wedge, or even bacon?

No matter your preferred taste, get creative today and start off 2022 on the right foot, with a Bloody Mary in hand.
