Dano’s Dill-Stacker Bloody Mary

A bold, tangy Bloody Mary built around dill stackers and Dano’s seasoning, from the warped minds of Tony Markin and Jim Baker.

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4–6 oz Bloody Mary mix (Zing Zang, Mr & Mrs T, or homemade)
  • 1–2 tsp Dano’s red-top
  • 1–2 dill stacker pickle slices (plus splash of the juice)
  • 1–2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
  • Black pepper (optional)
  • Ice

  • Dill stacker spear
  • Celery stalk

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  2. Add vodka.
  3. Add Bloody Mary mix.
  4. Add Dano’s seasoning and stir well to dissolve.
  5. Add a splash of dill-pickle juice (key for the tang).

  8. Garnish with dill stackers and your preferred toppings.

Optional “Chef’s Kiss” Version

Shake the drink (without ice) in a shaker to blend in the Dano’s, then pour over fresh ice. This smooths the spice and helps it bloom.
