Description
These Truffled Bloody Marys are a twist on the classic. Truffle salt and a touch of truffle oil elevate your standard bloody Mary to something a little more interesting. The truffle is subtle but adds some savory earthiness to this cocktail. It’s perfect for making during the holidays, too – this recipe serves a crowd! Everyone can garnish their own glasses their own way, too.

Instructions
For the Bloody Mary Mix:
- To a food processor, add the celery, onion, horseradish, Worcestershire, celery salt, truffle salt, truffle oil, hot sauce, lemon juice, and dill pickle juice. Pulse until the celery and onion are finely minced and all the ingredients are well mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to a large serving pitcher. Add the tomato juice and vodka, stir well, and taste. Adjust the horseradish, hot sauce, or truffle salt/oil to your tastes (see NOTE).
- Refrigerate the pitcher prior to serving (you can make the mix up to 1 day ahead and keep it in the fridge. Stir well before serving).
For Rimming the Glasses:
- Mix the salt and pepper on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
- Run a lemon wedge around the rims of tall/highball style glasses and then dip the rims in the salt.
To Serve:
- Fill the glasses with ice. Give the mix a good stir and pour it over the ice.
- Garnish each glass as preferred. All garnishes are optional but encouraged!
Notes
- The amount of truffle oil that you add to the mix will depend on your tastes and the specific oil you are using. I have found that some are much stronger than others, so start with the recommended amount in the recipe and add more, as needed, to meet your tastes.
- This is my favorite truffle oil. It’s always consistently high quality.
