Well, you knew it had to happen sooner or later…
I used some of our new Habanero Death Dust in a bloody mary last night. It was really good. Here’s the recipe…
Oakridge BBQ Full Moon Habanero Bloody Marys
Ingredients:
- 2½ oz. Moonshine (or Vodka)
- 6 oz. V8 Juice
- 8 dashes Wooster
- Juice from two lemon wedges
- 1 tsp. Oakridge BBQ Habanero Death Dust
- Ice to fill glass
- Hi-ball glass
- Celery stalks and lemon wedge for garnish
Process:
In a shaker glass, mix all ingredients (except ice and garnish) by shaking or stirring thoroughly. Then pour over ice into a Hi-ball or Pint glass. Garnish with celery stalks and a lemon wedge. Enjoy!
Final thoughts…
It was really good. Nice and spicy, especially when you got down to the bottom of the glass… However, I think the low sodium tomato juice detracted from it just a tiny bit.
Next time, I’ll skip the low sodium V8 and go for the full leaded variety. I think this drink would have been just about perfect if the tomato juice wasn’t quite as flat tasting.
But, all in all, it was a pretty darn good bloody mary. Just perfect for sipping while standing over your backyard Q.
Thanks for the kind comments, Curt! And thanks for visiting our site!!

And, btw, this is my first visit… Love the photos. It's nice to see a bbq guy put up some good shots!
I've used bbq rubs in bloody marys before, and really like them that way. I like to smoke tomatoes and add to the whole mix, along with either smoking salt for the rim or putting bbq rub on the rim. And another variation, one that a restaurant in Chicago calls a Bloody Larry, uses white whiskey instead of vodka, a change I really like.
