I have friends who serve celery stalks with a Bloody Mary. I have no idea why as the two things are hardly compatible, especially as they serve it up for breakfast. I enjoy the Bloody Mary but could do without the celery!! Does anybody have any thoughts on how the addition of celery came about or is it part of the original recipe or are my friends really oddball??

My own personal fave is Vodka, tomato juice, tabasco, worcester sauce, slug of sherry and fresh lime juice!! Not a great fan of the celery myself but love a good bloody mary!

The best Bloody Mary can be had at The Grenadier in Knightsbridge.

irisred is very close to the recipe but a very dry sherry sherry should be used and sprinkled with celery salt.

Do they still have the Bloody Mary bar on a Sunday archie?
