The Best Bloody Mary Bar

The charm of a Bloody Mary Bar is how customizable it is - plus, the fun garnishes. Offer a variety of something-for-everybody liquid refreshments and accompaniments while getting creative with the product arrangement.

Any non-drinker or underage family and friends? Offer club soda as a vodka substitute. Any dietary requirements or preferences? Offer multiple vodka options and additional plant-based and allergen-friendly garnishes. Not feeling like bar tending? Serve ready-to-drink cocktails in place of the vodka and Bloody Mary mix.

1. Prepare Cocktails and/or Mocktails

Prepare drinks according to your favorite recipe or find an easy one on the back of the Bloody Mary mix bottle.

2. Prep Your Choice of Garnishes

From classics like celery, cheese, olives and pickled veg to more outside-the-box options such as meatballs, chicken tenders and tater tots, the possibilities border on endless. Who knew to use crushed potato chips as a cocktail glass rimmer? 

3. Assemble Beverage Bar

Transfer cocktails and mocktails to serving pitchers or carafes. If using rim salts or seasonings, rim your glasses with citrus juice or water; dip glasses in a saucer filled with the salts or seasonings. Have long skewers or toothpicks on hand for guests to assemble their garnish selections. 

Artfully arrange your garnishes on a wooden board, serving platters and/or in small serving bowls. Use the image below as a guideline or craft your own eye-appealing design.
