Brunch

Did you know that that Bloody Mary is often referred to in the culinary world as the world's "most complex cocktail?" I'm not sure I agree, but I do know that this is the Best Bloody Mary recipe and I love making, and drinking, them!

This recipe is delicious, can be made in advance, and sure beats any fruit salad from a store! It is perfect for a Sunday brunch or as a light, refreshing, summer dessert.

Be the hit of the party with this tip on how to serve up individual Bloody Marys in Mason Jars. Prepare your mix in advance and portion out. When it's time to serve, add vodka, ice, and shake. Remove lid and drink up!

This cake is perfect for so many occasions, but I think serving it for brunch or with afternoon coffee is about as perfect as it gets. The smell alone will fill your home with warmth and love.
