I was bound and determined to use every last bit of tomato juice that I made, and if that meant making a Bloody Mary for B.O.B. Bob, then so be it. The biggest problem I had making it, was that I couldn’t taste it. I absolutely loathe Bloody Marys, and there was no way that I was going to be a taste-tester, so I decided to just wing it. I’ve seen enough of these disgusting drinks made by B.O.B. Bob, my brother Matt, and my friend Steve, to know what makes them appealing, so I figured as long I didn’t veer way off base in one direction with too much spice, salt, or seasoning, everything would probably work out well. What was the verdict? B.O.B. Bob drank the whole thing, said that it tasted really great, and that it tasted slightly sweet. I’m guessing that was the natural sweetness from the tomatoes, because I know I didn’t add any sugar. Now I wonder if I can talk him into making me a daiquiri next weekend to pay me back. The Magic 8 Ball says, “Don’t count on it.”
