Ingredients
Spice Mix
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Bunny Mary Mix
- 2 cups carrot juice
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1/2 lemon, juice only
- 2 teaspoons prepared spice mix
- 8 oz vodka (divided, add separately)
Garnishes
- Pickles, chopped
- Baby carrots, whole
- Celery, chopped
- Kalamata olives, whole
Instructions
- Prepare Spice Mix: Whisk together black pepper, chili powder, celery salt, kosher salt, and garlic powder in a medium-sized bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired to make it spicier or stronger according to preference. Reserve some spice mix for rimming glasses.
- Combine Bunny Mary Mix: In a separate container, combine carrot juice, pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons of the prepared spice mix. Stir well to mix all the flavors evenly.
- Prepare Glass and Serve: To make one cocktail, rim a tall glass with a lemon wedge and dip it into some of the reserved spice mix to coat the rim. Add ice to the glass, pour in 2 ounces of vodka, then fill with approximately 4 ounces of the Bunny Mary mix. Garnish by skewering pickles, baby carrots, celery, and Kalamata olives and placing them in the glass. Serve immediately.
Notes
- The spice mix can be adjusted to taste, adding more hot sauce for extra heat.
- You can double the spice mix to have enough for both the mix and the glass rims.
- Using fresh carrot juice enhances the flavor but bottled juice works as well.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit vodka and increase carrot juice or add a splash of club soda.
- Chill the Bunny Mary mix before serving for the best taste.
