According to Sarah Farmer<\/a>, head of our Test Kitchen, \"The taste here is bold and robust.\"\r\n\r\nWith every sip, our team could pick out new flavors including Worcestshire sauce, garlic, celery and even hints of smoke. Combined together, Zing Zang made for a really satisfying Virgin Mary (that's a Bloody Mary without the vodka). Our team knows that the flavor would only be improved with a splash of vodka<\/a> and a few garnishes like olives and citrus wedges.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Freshest Bloody Mary Mix\" product_name=\"Demitri\u2019s Bloody Mary Seasoning\" pros=\"Fresh tomato flavor\" pros1=\"Ideal consistency\" pros2=\"Vibrant color\" pros3=\"Great canvas for customization\" cons=\"Not a lot of heat\" cons1=\"Could use some livening up, depending on your tastes\" image=\"1740670\" pr_name=\"Amazon\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Demitris-Bloody-Cocktail-Liquid-Fluid\/dp\/B005VS60ZK?tag=tohmke-20\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n\r\nFor garden-fresh taste, our Test Kitchen suggests Demitri's Bloody Mary Seasoning<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis bright red mix wowed our testing team with its verdant flavor. According to Associate Culinary Producer Sarah Tramonte<\/a>, \"This one is very fresh and tomato-forward\u2014almost salsa-like.\"\r\n\r\nOther than that great tomato taste, our team picked up notes of black pepper, garlic and celery\u2014all the right flavors for this cocktail.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Out-of-the-Box Bloody Mary Mix\" product_name=\"The Real Dill Bloody Mary Mix\" pros=\"Perfect blend of herbs and spices\" pros1=\"Dill pickle flavor harmonizes with the other ingredients\" pros2=\"Unique Bloody Mary experience\" cons=\"Pickle flavor isn\u2019t for everyone\" cons1=\"Slightly thin consistency\" image=\"1740684\" pr_name=\"Anthropologie\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anthropologie.com%2Fanthroliving%2Fshop%2Freal-dill-bloody-mary-mix-growler%3Fcolor%3D000%26type%3DSTANDARD%26size%3DOne%2BSize%26quantity%3D1\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Anthropologie\" \/]\r\n\r\nWhile some like a good basic mix and others a Bloody that's extra-spicy, there are folks that are looking for something\u00a0more<\/em> out of their cocktail.\u00a0The Real Dill<\/strong><\/a> makes a pickle-accented mix that's different from any other bottled Bloody we tried.\r\n\r\nSure, pickle-flavored foods<\/a> can seem like a gimmick, but our Test Kitchen assures you that the combination works perfectly here. In fact, Sarah Farmer says that she typically uses pickle brine ice cubes in her at-home Bloody Marys. In fact, you can use all types of ice cubes in your Bloody Marys\u2014even smoked ice<\/a> ice cubes.\r\n\r\nIn this mix, flavors of dill, garlic and a touch of vinegar play well with the classic Bloody Mary flavors. Together with celery salt, Worcestershire and hot sauce, this bottled mix really packs a flavorful, spice-forward (but not too hot) punch.\r\n
