Have you ever felt frustrated with the lack of consistency when it comes to Bloody Marys? This is a problem Demitri Pallis, owner of Demitri’s, came across all too often and he decided that enough was enough. In order to solve this problem, Demitri set out on a journey to create the perfect Bloody Mary recipe. After years of trial and error, he finally came up with a balance of fourteen all-natural ingredients, creating a recipe that is synonymous with the perfect Bloody Mary.

We, at Houston’s, had the pleasure of sitting with Demitri as he showed us the ins-and-outs of the different products that his company carries.

Bloody Mary Mixes

“Want to win a Bloody Mary contest? CHEAT with Demitri’s Bloody Mary Seasonings.” This is a statement that Demitri
lightheartedly made in reference to his Bloody Mary Seasoning. But it is definitely an accurate statement as Demitri’s has won many awards with their seasonings.  Currently, there are four seasonings, all of which contribute to creating the ideal Bloody Mary:

Classic: Fourteen all-natural ingredients, balanced for the perfect Bloody Mary

Chilies and Peppers: The “Classic” recipe with added chilies and peppers for extra spicy goodness.

Extra Horseradish: Just like the name says, Demitri upped the horseradish in this recipe resulting in a nice zesty horseradish aroma and flavor.

Chipotle -Habañero: If you like your Bloody Marys hot and spicy, this one is for you. Whole chipotle peppers and habañero chilies are pureed and added to this fiery recipe.

A great thing about these seasonings is they are all very versatile. They are not only great for making Bloody Marys, but they are also great for cooking. Demitri’s seasonings are good for marinating steaks, chicken, pork, etc.

How to make the perfect Bloody Mary

Demitri’s takes pride in making the perfect Bloody Mary “every time, in no time.” So how does one make the perfect Bloody Mary every time? Well it’s as simple as one, two, three:

Add 2oz. of Demitri’s to the ridge of the 1qt Store N’ Pour (pictured on the left)

Fill with 30oz tomato juice (we recommend Sacramento Tomato Juice)

Shake!

RimShot! Rim Salts

The perfect Bloody Mary wouldn’t be complete without salt. Demitri’s carries salt, but it isn’t just some ordinary run of the mill salt. It’s a custom blend of sea salts and spices from around the world that complements any Bloody Mary!

Original Rimshot!: Hawaiian sea salts, smoked salts, celery seed, and a few secret ingredients.

Bacon Rimshot!: Made with Bacon Salt by J&D’s, this salt is a smoky, savory garnish that adds aroma and tons of flavor-great with a nice cold sip of a Bloody Mary.

Not a Fan of Bloody Marys? Try a Margarita!

For those of you who are not big fans of Bloody Marys, Demitri’s also supplies both a margarita mix and a margarita rim salt. Demitri’s is also currently working on creating an all-organic margarita mix.

Traditional Mix: A classic margarita mix with no preservatives, gluten or high fructose corn syrup, and designed for people who seek premium-quality cocktails.

38 Calorie Mix: This is the skinny version of the “Traditional Mix”, but with the same great flavor.

NEW Margarita Rimshot!: A pomegranate, pineapple, lime, rim salt with mild Korean chili flakes for a colorful, all-natural finishing touch to any margarita. (pictured on the right)
