Notes

This is a bartender's secret recipe that makes enough concentrate for 20-25 drinks. The ingredient list may seem long, but each spice plays a crucial role in the flavor profile. Start with 1 oz of mix per drink and adjust to your preference for heat level. The mix keeps well refrigerated and actually tastes better after a day or two as the flavors meld together. Wisconsin-style bloody marys are known for generous garnishes including unconventional options like beef sticks!
