My hubby is a Bloody Mary master. He loves to make them when we are on vacation or on really hot summer weekends. While I like the taste of them, sometimes it’s a bit too much like eating a juiced salad for my likes.
You know I like my salads so I guess I would prefer to eat them, rather than drink them. And I am on a carb counting frenzy, hence the reason I’ve been making all these infused vodkas like my mojito vodka.
So I got this idea to make a Bloody Mary Infused Vodka to drink on the rocks and boy did it turn good. This is by far my favorite infused vodka I’ve made. Even my hubby gave me a thumbs up!
A note about the carbs in this drink
It’s hard to calculate the nutrition for this drink because I don’t know how much of the “essence” of the vegetables are getting into the vodka. Vodka has only 64 calories and zero carbs for 1 fluid ounce. So I feel this drink has little if any net carbs in it. However you should use your own judgement if you are on a strict low carb or keto diet.
Bloody Mary Infused Vodka Ingredients
This is another easy recipe. All you need to do is a fill a large mason jar with your favorite Bloody Mary fixings. Below you can see what I used in this infused vodka which was: celery stalks and leaves, garlic cloves, grape tomatoes, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, celery seeds and jalapeño peppers.
All the ingredients I used for my Bloody Mary infused vodka.
Add them to a jar like this along with a good middle shelf vodka, cover and refrigerate. I used Absolut vodka but you can use any kind you like. But remember if it’s really cheap vodka it’s still going to taste cheap even after the infusion of flavors.
And here it is coming out of the refrigerator after a week of steeping. Not much difference in looks but oh the flavor! We tasted it a few days in and you could really taste the celery. My official taste testers were of course me, my husband and my father in law.
Infusion Recipe Tips and Notes
- When tasting make sure you shake it up first.
- Also you can use different spices if you are a hard core Bloody Mary drinker. My husband wanted some horseradish in this but I didn’t have any on hand.
- When drinking this, you could salt the rim or add a dash worcestershire sauce.
- If you don’t like the heat you can just add a slice of jalapeno or eliminate it altogether.
- Taste the infusion after a few days to see if you like it or not. It will get stronger the longer you keep it in the refrigerator. After a week it was perfect to me. You really get the spiciness from the peppercorns and jalapeño and a hint of garlic and tomato flavors.

Do you have any idea how long it would last? I’ve had a bottle infused since last year and my hubby thinks it may have gone bad. I added some garlic and serano pepper‘s to a bottle.
Denise
Hi Nickie,
I would not drink it because of the vegetables. I found a website that said pickled vegetables can only last 5 to 6 months in the refrigerator so I’m guess that would be the same concept here. But I’m not sure to be totally honest. Just to be safe I would not drink it. Sorry.

I received these emails from Susan and she had some great ideas so I thought I’d share them here.
“You’re welcome. Last night I wanted to infuse some vodka to have bloodies today. This is a quick infusion but works great and the next day, today, it is so good I’m just gonna sip it without the v8 juice…here it is
in an empty gatorade qt bottle…
1 pint of Smirnoff, Grey Goose is super smooth!!
2 stalks celery, 1/3 med yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic,
1/2 cup black olives…..all that chop super tiny or mash.
Put in bottle , plus the vodka, now 1/2 can olive brine
1/4 jar mild pickled jalepeno juice, (you can alway add the slices)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper or peppercorns
2 dashes hot sauce
3 dashes Lea &Perrins Worstersire (only lea &perrins)
Now…last but not least…1/2 reg can beef broth or consomme or 2 tablesppons of Better Than Bullion beef (I simply use can beef broth)
Shake it all up….put in frig. Shake the next am and drink that night. And it only gets better with time. You can drink this straight up, garnish anyway you want. Throw olives in it and call it a Dirty Bull Martini.
Or, like me, pour over ice into a low ball or high ball glass and sip. Trust me, honey, this is one tasty savory booze. If you make some, let me know how you like it. Feel free to post it.
I left out the cucumber in my recipe, I also put a half of peeled chopped cucumber. That’s so important to the taste. If you make it put cuke in it. If you share it write it in.
Also…when you use this infusion, it is extremely good with carrt juice and a mixture of carrot juice and tomato juice. By the way there’s a new Boody mix in town, it’s called Hallils (sp?). It’s mid eastern, apparently bloodies are well liked there. I couldn’t find it online but I found some at Golden Ox Liquors. In Jax, FL.
A cool way to drink the infusion is make shot glasses out of hulled cucumbers. Rim them with tomatoe salt. stick in freeze for 10 minutes. eat your shot!!!
Tomato salt= peel a half dozen tomatoes taking just the thin skin , throw them on baking sheet in 250 degree oven for an hour or two. Then grate them into medium flaked sea salt or salt de fleur. Mix well and store in bottle. Margarita salt does well for this. Since your hubby likes hot stuff, do the same with jalepenos, fresh.
Also lime and lemon zest, etc etc.”
Susan Sawtelle
You strain the veggies out and then you can mash or mull or puree them and add to infusion.
Susan Sawtelle
To all of your ingredients, I also add sliced cucumber, carrots, garlic, onion, black olives, olive brine, 1 achovie, a dash of beet juice for color. Refrigerate a week, shaking daily. Then strain up, and mull together the solids left behind, strain that into the infusion. The taste of this infusion is so smooth you can drink it straight or in shots, cold. It turns a lovely amber color. If you drink it straight over ice add a few drops lea & perrins worstersire sauce and a shot of dill pickle juice. Its addictive. You can add 4 dashes of worstersire and a couple shots dill pickle juice diectly to the infusion to make it even easier.
Denise
Hi Susan,
Thanks for your tips! I can’t wait to give them a try…. my husband LOVES bloody Marys so I’ll have to try this soon for him.
Patti Ingalls
Hi, do you have to strain the veg out? Im thinking it would be yummy to garnish the drink with the veggies and add club soda with lime?
Denise
Hi Patti,
My husband ate them if I’m remembering correctly. So no you don’t have to strain them and garnishing should be fine. Good luck!

What would the Carb and Net Carb count be on this recipe if followed as posted? Also, calories count, etc. Thank you so much! Sounds delicious and cannot wait to make this recipe!
Denise
Hi,
I am no sure how to calculate the calories and carb count for this drink because it’s an infusion and you are not really drinking the tomatoes or jalapeños or celery… just the vodka. So while there may be a carb or two, the vodka has not carbs in it. 1 fl oz of vodka is approximately 64 calories and 0 fat, carbs, fiber, etc. So with the infused veggies, I’m guessing it would be a bit higher but not much. Hope that helps!
