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.

Ingredients (1 drink)

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4–6 oz Bloody Mary mix (Zing Zang, Mr & Mrs T, or homemade)
  • 1–2 tsp Dano’s red-top, or white-top for more spice
  • 1–2 dill stacker pickle slices (plus splash of the juice)
  • 1 dash lime juice (moisten rim of glass and garnish with Dan’Os)
  • 1–2 dashes Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
  • Ice

Season rim of glass with lime juice and Danos

  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.

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.
