Without irony I used to serve a drink where I'd combine fruit roll-ups and vodka in a blender. Fruit roll-up-arita anyone? I’d drink cloyingly sweet drinks and date cloyingly sweet guys. Now I like my men and my drinks much stronger. These Bloody Marys are just like the men that inspired them, because if you're not careful, they'll knock you off your feet.

Latin Lover Bloody Mary

One shot of jalapeno flavored tequila

Vegetable juice

A pinch of cumin

¼ teaspoon beef bouillon powder

1 dash Chipotle flavored hot sauce

Squeeze of fresh lime juice

Some salsa musica blasting on your stereo

Serve over ice. You can also rub the rim of your glass with lime and then dip it in sea salt and powered chili.

Hot Asian Guy Bloody Mary

One shot ginger infused vodka

Vegetable juice

A dab of wasabi paste (fresh if you can find it)

1 dash soy sauce

¼ teaspoon beef bouillon powder

Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

A six-pack of Japanese Beer (not for this drink but you should always keep some on hand for him)

Serve over ice. You can also serve with a floater of fresh ginger or hang a cooked shrimp of the rim of the glass.

British Guy Blood Mary

His mom has to make this drink. English guys can’t do anything without their mummys.

All-American Boy Bloody Mary

Blend a glass of vegetable juice and a few sundried tomatoes until smooth

One shot citrus flavored vodka (http://www.threeolives.com/main.php)

¼ teaspoon horseradish

dash lemon juice

dash Worcestershire sauce

dash or two of Tobasco

¼ teaspoon beef bouillon powder

Serve over ice while wearing a stars and stripes bikini. You can also rub the rim of your glass with lime and dip it in celery salt.

I’m grateful for my changing taste in men and cocktails otherwise I’d still be trying to figure out how to make a drink out of a McDonalds hot apple pie, pixi sticks and a box of wine…wait a minute, that sounds kind of tasty. Pixi-Pie-Pinot anyone?

That’s why I’m grateful for my changing taste in men.
