When the going gets tough, the tough crank open the bottle of tomato juice.
Out of the many mysteries in the world, one that has us perpetually stumped is why the Bloody Mary is often relegated to brunch-time-only fare.
Whatever time of day you sip yours, this National Bloody Mary Day on Jan. 1, 2022, mix up this stellar “Spuddy Mary” from Spud Love Potato Chips developed by Kourtney Paranteau of CuteMeat Inc. The secret ingredient here? The genius addition of potato chips, ground up like breadcrumbs and used to rim each glass.
“I love experimenting with fun tastes and textures to include in my Bloody Mary and the spice and crunch of Spud Love potato chips is the perfect way to incorporate a bit of heat and a small amount of crunch, since the potato chips are ground so fine,” Paranteau tells Fox News. “If you like more crunch, you can even garnish with potato chips, which gives an added crunch.”
FYI: The mixture will keep for up to four days in the fridge.

1 cup tomato juice
¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice, strained
