Bloody Revolution Gourmet Mixes Bloody Revolution Pickle Zest

I'm a fan of Bloody Mary's, and this has become one of my favorites.PROS : (1) GREAT INGREDIENTS. None of the high fructose corn syrup crap that some mass-manufactured mixes use as one of the top 3 ingredients. BLOODY REVOLUTION uses a small amount of regular corn syrup (way down near the bottom of the list), and the majority of the ingredients are natural / actual food and not synthetic crap or fillers.(2) FLAVOR PROFILE... the steak sauce and a little hickory smoke flavor give this a different twist than what I've tasted elsewhere. It's got a lot going on, flavor-wise, and my biggest problem is... it makes me want to keep drinking Bloody Mary's all day (which I shouldn't, for sodium count alone).Zero complaints on the flavor. Loving this mix.I was adding this into my SUBSCRIBE & SAVE list, less than an hour after I first cracked open the bottle. Planning to try 2 of the other flavors next month. Memo to self: need to buy a bigger bottle of vodka.

These are amazing! This is all you need minus the vodka. The best in my book

Very tasty, for me it's just right. I love mixing it with sake' for a lighter drink - try it, it's very good!

Since there are several versions, to specify, this is the Bloody Revolution Original. Just the right amount of heat - the Goldilocks zone. If you were expecting habanero-hot (as some reviewers apparently) you'll be disappointed. Likewise if you were expecting tomato juice. Just the right balance of warmth for a traditional Bloody Mary, with an interesting complexity. Speaking of traditional, the flavor is somewhat unexpected - with a mild smokiness to it (think "strip-of-bacon" garnish) - so if you were also expecting your bartender's Bloody Mary, not it. Outdoor, steak-on-the-grill lovers applaud, others, maybe not. But overall, a very nice, if not quite the standard, Bloody Mary mix. A loose lid in packaging reduced the experience somewhat, not enough to return, but enough to make a mess, although no stars off for that. Recommended.

Enjoyed this Bloody Mary mix a lot, but I just received their Ribeye flavor and I am a forever client. I'm looking forward to tasting every other flavor as well.

I was visiting friends in Texas….well we had a Bloody Mary morning(total country song reference) anyhoo… this bottle of mix was presented…. This stuff is the best!!!! My unfortunate problem is that it doesn’t ship well and I was able to receive only part of my order in Florida…. However if you have the opportunity to purchase this product DO IT

Update - I was able to neutralize the bitterness by adding 1/4 tsp of baking soda to the bottle and shake well. I had to add just a little more to the Original but the 1/4 tsp worked well for the Pickle flavor. Ribeye didn't need any adjustment it was perfect out of the bottle.My experience with the flavors so far:Original - most bitter of them all but the baking soda fixed it.Pickle - also bitter, but baking soda fixed it.Ribeye - not bitter, very delicious. Aggressively spiced, but not hot.Roasted Garlic - not bitter, tasty, smooth compared to the Ribeye and Original. A bit too much garlic on its own for me, but really nice when mixed 1 part each with Ribeye and Original.**********There's a vodka bar near my home whose bar manager loves to pour 1 part Original, 1 part Ribeye, and 1 part Garlic. That is my favorite bloody mary. IDK what else she puts in the cup but I know she is using these Bloody Revolution mixes.I hadn't had the separate components and wanted to try them separately. I was able to find Ribeye and Original at my local supermarket but Garlic wasn't in stock and I also wanted to try Pickle.The Pickle arrived and while I like the pickle flavor the finish of the mix is so bitter. I can't tell if its bad tomato juice or some flavoring agent.The Ribeye is delicious, no bitter aftertaste.The Original is like the Pickle: so bitter.I mixed some Ribeye into the Pickle to see if it would make the drink better and it did.I tried mixing Ribeye into the Original to see if it would help like it did with the pickle and it did not. Way too bitter.I ordered the Garlic and the Smoked Habenero to see if those are also bitter or if they are OK like the Ribeye.IDK how to solve this - do I put in a little baking soda? Sugar? I don't think I want a sweet bloody mary so maybe I'll try the baking soda trick. But I'd prefer not to have to add anything.I wonder if they taste every batch before bottling? I can't imagine they would approve to bottle something with such a bitter finish. Maybe I got some bad batches?

This mix is so good! It is perfect for just a plain bloody mary and you can add more pickle juice for a more pickly flavor! A great base!
