This Bloody Mary with Witches Fingers Is the Perfect Halloween Cocktail Treat
Skip the candy and sip on this spicy Bloody Mary for Halloween. No actual blood required.
This October 31st, enjoy a bloody Halloween cocktail with tomato juice, horseradish and pickled green beans. Using the brine from the green beans will give your cocktail a delicious sour flavor, and the crunchy texture of the beans or “witches fingers” is a super fun garnish. Kosher pickle spears make an excellent substitute if you can’t find pickled green beans.
Bloody Marys are boldly flavored, and this one is particularly spicy so use small tumblers or mini Mason jars to serve them, and sip slowly. Serving them in smaller glasses with a single ice cube will ensure that they don’t get too watered down. If you like things spicy, you can always add a touch of cayenne pepper but it’s perfectly fine to leave it out. If you can’t find Old Bay seasoning, use an equivalent mixture of celery salt and finely ground black pepper.

Preparation
In a large pitcher or jar combine the tomato juice, brine, juice from ½ of the lemon, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, 1 tablespoon Old Bay and a few grinds of fresh pepper.
Slice the other half of the lemon into small wedges. To serve, pour 1 tablespoon of Old Bay onto a small plate. Coat the rim of each serving glass with lemon juice and dip into the old bay.
Add 1 large ice cube and 1 ounce of vodka to each glass. Pour in 3 ounces of the tomato juice mixture, add 2 green beans and a lemon wedge.
