These festive (and cheesy!) bloody mary skewers are here to jazz up any bloody mary! We’re sharing 4 delicious flavor combos you’ll absolutely love. Make them with a pitcher of our bloody marys, and enjoy!
Cheesy Bloody Mary Skewers
Get ready, cheese lovers! Today we’re sharing not two, not three, but FOUR bloody mary skewers you can use to jazz up any bloody mary occasion.
Bloody Mary Skewers
Brie + BlackBerries
We love brie cheese and fresh fruit together! Which is why these brie and blackberries skewers are such a delicious flavor combo. They’re a great option to sweeten up a traditionally spicy and savory bloody mary.
To make these skewers: Cut brie cheese into small cubes, and alternate between brie and blackberries on a skewer until filled.
Yellow Cheddar Cheese + Pickle Chunks
Cheddar cheese and pickles are typical accoutrements to find with a bloody mary, but we love the option of having small cubes of cheddar cheese + smaller chunks of pickles on a skewer to get all that flavor combined into one bite!
To make these skewers: Cut cheddar cheese into small cubes and pickles into small chunks, and alternate cheddar cheese cubes and pickle chunks on a skewer until filled.
White Cheese Curds + Beef Sticks
Hello, Wisconsin! We couldn’t let this bloody mary skewers recipe go without a good ‘ol cheese skewer! We like to combine white cheese curds with chunks of beef sticks. DELISH.
To make these skewers: Cut beef sticks into small chunks, and alternate white cheese curds on a skewer until filled.
Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives
You didn’t think we’d let you leave this bloody mary skewers post without a blue cheese cameo, did you!? We’re big blue cheese stuffed olive fans when it comes to dirty martinis, but are pleased to report that they’re super delicious in a bloody mary as well.
To make these skewers: Stuff large green olives with blue cheese, and place on a skewer until filled.
Best Bloody Mary Recipe
We’re also sharing our go-to bloody mary recipe! This recipe is super flavorful, but not overly spicy. It features a cucumber vodka, which gives it a great flavor, but feel free to use any vodka if you don’t have cucumber.
Want to amp up the spice? Increase the hot sauce!
Want less spice? Eliminate the hot sauce.
You’ll need:
- Cucumber vodka
- V8 or tomato juice
- Worcestershire sauce
- Hot sauce (we like sriracha or Frank’s!)
- Dijon mustard
- Lemon juice
- Salt & pepper
- Ice (of course!)
How to Make a Pitcher of Bloody Marys
- Grab a pitcher + ice: First, fill a large pitcher halfway with ice cubes.
- Add vodka: Then, pour vodka into the pitcher with ice.
- Add bloody mary ingredients: Add tomato juice, followed by the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the pitcher and stir everything together with a wooden spoon.
- Cheers! Serve bloody marys with cheese skewers and other accoutrements (we recommend a few of our favorites below!).
Can I Double this Recipe?
Absolutely! You can feel free to double, triple or even quadruple this recipe (both the bloody mary skewers and the bloody mary recipe itself) to your heart’s content.
What Vodka is Good in Bloody Marys?
This recipe specifically calls for a cucumber vodka (we love Kettle One’s cucumber vodka!), but a plain vodka will also work. We do recommend skipping the rail vodka, and opting for a higher shelf option like:
Other Bloody Mary Toppings
There are so many great options when it comes to bloody mary toppings, and there’s no reason to just choose one or two. In addition to these 4 flavors of bloody mary skewers, we also love topping our bloody marys with:
- Celery stalks
- Bacon slices
- Cocktail shrimp
- Lemon or lime slices
- String cheese
