Bloody Mary Recipes by Ketel One Vodka image 1

Every bartender, worth their celery salt, has a signature Bloody Mary recipe they’re proud of. Realising this, Ketel One collected recipes from 30 leading bartenders in their home market to produce the appropriately titled Large Bloody Mary Book. Naturally, the book is in Dutch, so we asked Ketel One to translate five of the best cocktails from the book to share with you below.
