Next time you've got a hankering for vegetable juice, I've got a challenge for you: Head to the nearest grocery store and buy two brands — V8 Original and Mott's Garden Blend — and see for yourself who produces nature's better nectar. We did the same recently in the office, after hearing that Mott's had just released a brand-new bottling of 100 percent vegetable juice. Which came out on top? Find out when you keep reading.

The other day I was walking down an aisle at Whole Foods when a bottle of V8 caught my eye. Suddenly I had an intense craving for a glass of tomato juice seasoned with salt and pepper. I used to enjoy tomato juice on a daily basis, but now, I only have it when I'm sipping a Bloody Mary. I think I might have to pick some up soon! How about you? Do you drink tomato juice?

What to Include in a Bloody Mary Bar

Whether you love them or hate them, Bloody Marys are a crucial staple of brunch and daytime entertaining. I personally adore them, and have recently been toying with the idea of creating a Bloody Mary bar the next time I invite friends and family over for brunch. To create your own customizable drink bar, begin with high-quality tomato juice, and take it from there. Here are 10 additions I'd include to make my Bloody Mary bar the best ever.

Use top shelf vodka. Try tequila instead. Don't forget the clam juice. Beer: it does a Bloody Mary good! All varieties of hot sauce. Worcestershire is a must. Pickled vegetables: a must have.

Happy Hour: Wikipedia's Bloody Mary

Last week, I was headed to the grocery store and drove past one of the best Bloody Mary spots in the city.

Last week, I was headed to the grocery store and drove past one of the best Bloody Mary spots in the city. I saw the line of people and knew I had to have one. So while at the store, I picked up some tomato juice, celery, and olives — I was positive I had everything else at home — and rushed straight home.

When I asked YumJimmy which recipe I should make, he told me to try Wikipedia. He said, "Well if it's on Wikipedia it must be the 'classic' one right?" I couldn't really argue with this, so I decided to go for it. It ended up being a delicious — and yes "classic" — version. I opted to add a bit more spice — more cracked pepper and a dash or two more of Tabasco — but flavor it to suit your needs.

Come Party With Me: Tailgate — Drinks

No tailgate is complete without a selection of classic beverages.

No tailgate is complete without a selection of classic beverages. When it comes to game day cocktails, there are two options. You could go gourmet and pair wines with your football food, or you could go old school and pair beer and Bloody Marys with the grub. I prefer to offer lots of beer. Head to Costco or Bevmo where you can purchase a large quantity of beer for less. Pack a generous amount of bottled water especially if the weather is warm. Either way, it's important to stock your cooler with plenty of ice to last you throughout the day. I even pack an extra cooler with only ice to ensure no shortage occurs.

At my tailgate, I'll make a huge pitcher of Bloody Marias — Bloody Marys made with tequila instead of vodka — to get guests pumped up for the game. Take a look at the recipe, just read more

When we decided to declare this week salad week, I knew that the first happy hour would have to be the quintessential Bloody Mary. In a way the Bloody Mary is like a liquid salad - celery, onions, tomatoes - only with alcohol in it. I know that a lot of people dislike the way they taste, however there is something about the savory flavor that keeps me coming back for more. To whip up your own alcoholic salad, read more
