Blackberry Fig Bourbon Punch

Blackberry Fig Bourbon Punch

This sweet and fizzy punch is one tasty cocktail.  The figs and blackberries make a perfectly sweet combo and when paired with the earthiness of bourbon and the fizziness of club soda, it’s hard to have just one. It’s also a perfect drink to make…

Lower Sodium Bloody Mary

Lower Sodium Bloody Mary

My husband loves Bloody Marys. The first thing he asks when he wakes up when we go camping or have a brunch planned is, “Did you bring Bloody Marys?” This last weekend the answer was no, and he was so bummed. I am redeeming myself and bringing them for sure this weekend! This recipe is pretty much a typical Bloody Mary recipe. There are great premixed stuff out there however I am sensitive to sodium. Whenever I would drink them I would start to bloat and not feel good at all. I decided to make my own and see how I feel. They taste amazing and I don’t have any stomach issues which is great! I like them a little thinner with a lot of seasonings and not too much salt. I finally found one that was perfect! I tried juicing veggies and making my own V-8, which you can totally do, however I know that is not realistic for me every time. In the summer we serve a lot of Bloody Marys to people when we are camping and I just needed a more convenient way to make them. I love horseradish and make sure I get the extra hot one. I also use a lot of Tabasco so that part you may want to adjust to what works best for you. This recipe is for one drink, I usually multiply everything by 6 and put it in a pitcher for a crowd. Easy!
