Instructions for Char-Grilled Bloody Mary
- Begin by lightly charring the bacon to render any excess fat. You can do this by baking in the oven for about 10-15 or outside on the grill. Use some paper towels to blot off any excess grease and slice into pieces about 1 1/2 inch wide.
- Put your skewers together by alternating between bacon, beef tenderloin & slices of bell peppers. Top each skewer with a pickled okra.
- Prepare the kabob marinade by mixing the vodka, Bloody Mary mix & Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and pour over the kabobs, and allow them to marinade at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- While the kabobs are marinading, preheat your grill for direct, medium-high heat. Then, prepare the drink recipe by blending the Bloody Mary mix, Worcestershire sauce, olive juice, lemon juice, creole mustard, hot sauce & vodka. Set this aside for now.

- Now it's time to grill the skewers. Place each skewer on the grill and cook for about a minute and a half per side. Then, remove the skewers and place in your glasses. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon, and place one in the bottom of each glass if you like.
- Fill each glass with ice, and top off with your Bloody Mary drink.
- Serve and enjoy!
