Blender - Essential for smoothly mixing ingredients like tomato juice and vodka.
Shaker - Used to combine spirits with ice; however, since Bloody Marys don't require shaking (but stirring), you might need a different type of shaker or use it in other ways.
Measuring Cups and Spoons - For precise measurements of the cocktail ingredients.
Mason Jars - Perfect for serving Bloody Marys, offering an elegant presentation with a pewter spoon.
Ice Maker or Crushed Ice Tray - Ensures your drink is well-chilled.
Cocktail Shot Glasses - Ideal for individual servings of Bloody Marys, especially when entertaining guests.
Paper Towels and Disposable Liners - For easy cleanup, particularly if the serving area is not sterile or if you're aiming to keep things tidy during preparation.
Cocktail Strainer (Bar Spoon) - While typically used for straining ice out of spirits in a shaker, it can also be useful when pouring over tomato juice mix without introducing excess pulp or seeds.
Carving Knife and Spoon - Useful if you're garnishing the Bloody Marys with additional ingredients like olives or celery that need to be cut.
Mixing Glass (Wide Shot Glass) - Essential for mixing cocktails, including the Bloody Mary base before straining into serving glasses.
