Chris Beerman's Bloody Mary
​When asked to share a recipe with SFoodie readers, Chris Beerman of Citizens Band and Pinkie's Bakery quickly admitted his current obsession with Bloody Marys: "I'm forever tinkering and perfecting my Bloody Mary recipe," he said.

The obsession began when the restaurant started making pickles and Beerman started taking the pickles home. He soon discovered that they made an excellent addition to his Sunday morning Bloody Mary. (If you'd like to read the full Q&A with Chris Beerman and Cheryl Burr, you can find part one here and part two here.)

Excellent recipe!  The only changea I made was to use olive juice for the pickle juice (didn't have pickle juice) and I didn't add the tobasco, and I only made a quart - the recipe is enough for a gallon.  Even with the vodka its a nice combination - not to tomato-y.  Definately a keeper!  Thanks!

A "pinch" of black pepper in that mess? Don't want to overwhelm the delicate balance, I guess...
