2. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Why Bloody Mary’s you ask?
Simple, Bloody Mary’s are nostalgic of everything we here at Stu’s love: football games, Sunday morning brunch and throwing a few back with friends.
We worked hard to develop the perfect Bloody Mary Mix--and we did!  Our bloody mary mix spice blend is chalk full of local, vegan ingredients that feature our stu’s sour pickle brine. This leaves you with a bloody mary that shows off what it's made of- starting off tart and tomato-y and then finishes off spicy and full.

Does Stu's mixes have tomato juice in them? 

Nope! Tomato juice is not included, essentially the mix is a bunch of spices, allowing you to be flexible with how you use it- it's a great steak marinade! 

 

So why don't we mix in the tomato juice for you?
Its Simple...options! The perfect bloody mary is about ratio. That's what Stu's Bloody Mary Mix has perfected. The exact ratio of spices and seasoning to make a perfect bloody mary. Everything is a personal preference.
Do you like Clamato juice? Kick ass, substitute it for the tomato juice with no problems. Do you prefer a more ‘tomato-ey’ flavor for your bloody? Easy, use only one ounce instead of two and let the tomato juice shine. Do you prefer organic vine-ripe tomato juice packed in season? We do too and we dare you fine a better tasting cocktail.
See, that's just too many personal preferences. We aren't in the business of telling people how to make a bloody mary. We just want to be there to guide you down the path to make the perfect bloody mary for YOU and your personal preference.

 

What else do I need with Stu’s Bloody Mary mix?

For a perfect Bloody Mary, our favorite ratio is 2 oz of Stu’s Bloody Mary Mix, 2 oz of vodka and 5 oz of tomato juice (homemade or store-bought), and friends (unless you like to drink alone).
