Bloody Mary Monday!

Festivarian Events Telluride Bluegrass Festival
1

We all know Debbie has not been able to do her traditional Bloody Mary Monday festivity the last couple years, yet several folks I’ve talked to have expressed interest. So here is your opportunity!

If you’d like to enjoy the spicy lusciousness on Monday of pre-fest, we have 2 weeks to make this happen! I talked with Debbie and she would love to see it happen but just can’t handle the organizing and such. We have the recipe and quantities that have been used in the past. After some enhanced interrogation techniques, she finally broke down and gave it to us!! :thumbsup

Now we just need some eager BM imbibers to donate some items, and a few volunteers to help serve! :wave
This is what we need for the usual 30 gallon batch of Debbie’s famous Mary’s:

30 Large Cans tomato juice
6 Large bottles of vodka
6 Large bottles of Worcestershire
6 Large bottles of Tabasco
6 Large jars of horseradish (not creamed)
6 Large bottles of lime juice

Also needed, celery salt, ground pepper, ice, fresh limes, olives, celery, dilly beans, etc., and whatever other garnishes you’d like to bring.

If you have interest, especially if you can help - please reply to this thread so I can keep track

Cheers,
Paul

We will bring 5 large tomato juice. How about some fresh horseradish root?

Got it, thanks Sugar!

Absolutely! I’m just getting an area ready to plant some root. Maybe I can bring some fresh next year too! Thanks, and I have you guys down for 5 tomato juices.

Talk to Jeri Shepard- She wants to help.She called me the other night, I’ll bring some dilly beans, large bottle of tabasco and large stirring spoon. ( LOL) Thanks for hosting this. Debbie Lg bottle of vodka

Awesome!! I’m in for a couple tomato juices and vodkas and random garnishes!! You can also borrow some serving bowls from Run-A-Muck for olives/peppers/etc.

Do you want any hot sauces hotter than Tabasco? Something that will melt people’s faces?

Reminder to the festivarians: bring your own cups!! Ya bunch of slackers.

7

Now that you mention it, there’s a guy at the Missoula Farmers’ Market that sells homemade hot sauce. I’ll pick some up to bring down.

8

Ohhh…, my face is melting!! :burn

Thanks Hooch!

Debbie,
Thank you for getting & keeping it going all these years!! :medal And Jeri can help as much as she’d like to! :flower

Is the large stirring spoon the same ladle thingy you used to pour into cups? And I have you down for 1 tabasco, 1 large vodka and some dillys. Thank you!

10

It looks like Jeri and I will be volunteering to help make this happen. I will bring limes and lemons as well as an assortment of hot sauces and garnishes. Bring your own cup.

11

Sweet, thanks guys! Getting excited now! :cheers
Speaking of sweet, we might need some maple syrup to sweeten Hooch’s face melting sauce! :thumbsup

12

I’ll pitch in with 3 Large Cans tomato juice and 2 Large bottles of Worcestershire.

13

No, it stirs the bucket…I can bring a ladle too

14

Oh good, mine is probably too big. Is the ladle best or is it easier to pour into a couple of pitchers and then fill folk’s cups?

15

never tried it , pitcher way…LOL

16

Hey Paul and All,

I’ll bring some jalapeno/garlic stuffed olives and a couple of 6oz bottles of Jamaican pepper sauce that turns Tabasco red with shame.

17

Let’s see … the Jamaican pepper that turns Tabasco to shame or Hooch’s acid flashback sauce … hmmm.

Thanks Ron!

Double T, Thank you!

18

you want to use these other hot sauces for garnish… I swear my recipe that I got from Lynne makes the best bloody’s.

19

Yeah for sure. Folks can doctor theirs up however they’d like. :wink: Wouldn’t be able to taste once you mix it with 5 gallons of ingredients anyway.

I’ve got an extra 5 gallon jug with a spigot.
You can mix it in the jug and serve from the spigot. :thumbsup
