Bloody Marys

MCCLURE'S PICKLES CO-FOUNDERS (and brothers) Bob
and Jim McClure wanted to pair their Bloody Mary Mixer
with a vodka to create a canned ready-to-drink Bloody
Mary, but they didn't want to change the mix's original
formula to do it.
Ironically, what made the gourmet picklers' mix special
also was what made it difficult to work with in terms of
combining with alcohol to create a packageable product.

TEAM UP FOR READY-TO-DRINK COCKTAIL PRODUCT
" Whenever we've tried to get our Bloody Mary mix into a
spirit-based format, we were told, 'You can't use your Bloody
Mary mix because it's got too many fresh ingredients,' " Bob
McClure said. " Well, that's what makes it flavorful and unique. "
With the exception of the tomato puree base, McClure's
processes the other fresh ingredients in the mix at its Detroit
facility and warehouse - including garlic, peppers and
dill - to go with their signature pickle brine. McClure's
makes four flavors of gourmet pickles - garlic and dill,
bread and butter, a spicy version and a sweet and spicy
version, as well as relish and sauerkraut.
