Hair of the dog in order? This delicious Bloody Mary recipe crafts the ultimate savoury drop

Did you ring in the New Year by pushing the boat out a little too far last night? Never fear, in our opinion, a good Bloody Mary can be the difference between surviving a hangover and promising you’ll never drink again. That said, you really don’t need to be hungover to enjoy this Bloody Mary recipe in all its savoury, spicy glory, it’s just as perfect for a refreshing, New Year’s Day brunch with your crew, or as a drink to make on repeat throughout summer.

Dash of salt
Dash of pepper
4 dashes of Tabasco (or to taste)
