    Bloody Marys are tricky because everyone has their own ideal version, which may not suit others. Following the recipe exactly resulted in a bland and overly salty drink (which doesn’t work well with the ingredient mix). However, sticking exactly to the recipe is challenging, as hot sauce and tomato juice can vary in saltiness. My recommendation: if you like it spicy, add cayenne and extra hot sauce. Avoid adding more salt until you’ve tasted it without.
