My Bloody Mary

Development of my take on a Bloody Mary took place over several years and resulted in far more duds than I'd like to admit. The final result has lived in my notes app for several years and now I share it with you. The BBQ sauce adds heft to classic bloody mary flavors and the Heatonist No. 5 brings big time umami to the table. Enjoy!
