Bloody Mary By The Pitcher Recipes

BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Cut the celery in large dice, including the leaves, and puree in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely minced. In a large pitcher, combine the rest of the ingredients except the vodka. With the food processor running, pour 1/4 of the tomato juice mixture into the food processor through the feed tube. Then pour the contents of the food processor into the pitcher with the remaining tomato juice mixture. Add the vodka and chill. Serve in tall glasses over ice with a stick of celery.

• Put the asparagus on a baking sheet. Cut 2 tablespoons of the butter into cubes and add to the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Put the shrimp on a second baking sheet. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cubes and add to the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus and shrimp until cooked through and brown in spots, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
• To assemble a day ahead, put the asparagus spears, bacon and celery in separate containers. Put the olives and shrimp in separate servings bowls and cover. Arrange the containers and bowls on a baking sheet and refrigerate.
• To assemble: Remove the asparagus spears, bacon and celery from their containers and arrange them standing up in separate pitchers. Uncover the serving bowls with the shrimp and olives. Drain the jar of pickles and set the jar on the serving table with the lid off. Put 24 skewers in a pitcher next to the fixin's bar ingredients. Arrange the bottles of hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning and vodka on the table. Add the pitcher of Bloody Mary mix. Set out 12 highball glasses and a bowl of ice.
• To serve: Fill each highball glass halfway with ice and top up two-thirds of the way with the Bloody Mary mix. Have guests add the vodka (if using) and select their own fixings to add to their drinks using the skewers.
