I’m sad to say I missed a very important holiday this year. It completely blew past me with all the chaos of the holidays and starting a new year, that I didn’t even realize it came and went already. I’m talking about National Bloody Mary Day, of course, and it was on January 1st.
Like National Margarita Day and National Carrot Cake Day (both are real things, apparently), National Bloody Mary Day is important for us food bloggers! It gives us another a reason to drink, and lets us experiment in the kitchen with a specific purpose in mind.
Although I missed the “official” holiday, there’s never a wrong time to drink a Bloody Mary. I mean, it’s even appropriate for breakfast! To satisfy my Bloody Mary craving, I recently tried a delicious mix from Little’s Cuisine and decided to make their classic recipe I found on their site (recipe follows).
Little’s Cuisine makes artisan seasoning mixes that are gluten free and contain no artificial ingredients or added MSG. They are also kosher and Non-GMO Project verified. The company’s hallmark mix is a chili seasoning mix, plus they have a Bloody Mary mix, Sloppy Joe mix, taco seasoning, chili lime seasoning blend, Italian herb seasoning blend, and a Thai stir-fry seasoning blend. They’re all very delicious and are great for enhancing the flavors in all sorts of dishes.
Their Bloody Mary mix is zesty with a nice kick of spice! It’s perfect for this time of year to warm you up. Cheers!

I love, love Little’s Cuisine seasonings. I am always complimented on dishes I make using their seasonings. Our friends think my husband is a master bartender when he uses the Bloody Mary mix. Try the Great Taco Mix.
