A Bloody Mary lives and dies by its tomato juice. BIG TOM Bloody Mary Mix is spiced, seasoned and balanced, so you can go straight from bottle to glass without fine-tuning a long list of spices yourself.

The Expert's Description

BIG TOM Bloody Mary Mix is a spiced tomato juice from the BIG TOM brand, created specifically for the Bloody Mary cocktail. It has a rich, full flavour carefully balanced with spices like celery, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, giving an authentic taste without needing to add further seasoning.

The texture is thick enough to give the cocktail the right body, and the juice is known for delivering consistent, high quality from bottle to bottle. That makes the mix a popular choice among bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts when a Bloody Mary needs to be ready quickly.

Tasting Notes

The Tasting Experience

The flavour is full-bodied and tomato-rich with a clear spiciness from celery, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. There is a mild, warm strength in the finish that ties it all together without turning too sharp.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Serve cold, straight over ice in a tall glass, and top with vodka for a classic Bloody Mary. For a variation, the mix also works with gin instead of vodka, known in cocktail circles as a Red Snapper. Garnish with a celery stick or a slice of lemon.

The Bloody Mary is widely believed to have been invented in Paris in the 1920s, though who exactly created the first version remains debated — what is not in doubt is that a good tomato juice has always been the drink's foundation.

Four little skulls float around in the glass while the drink slowly chills - a small detail that turns an ordinary evening into a themed party. The ice cube tray takes a minute to fill, but the guests notice it every time.

The Expert's Description

The Westmark Monopol Edition Mr. Skully Silicone Ice Cube Tray is an ice cube tray from the German kitchenware brand Westmark, cast in flexible silicone and shaped as four small skulls.

The tray belongs to Westmark's Monopol Edition, a range of small, characterful kitchen gadgets with a sense of humour. Instead of square cubes, you get four clearly shaped skulls that give any drink a themed and slightly spooky look - perfect for Halloween, themed nights, or just for fun.

Design & Material

The silicone is soft and flexible, making it easy to twist the ice cubes free from the mould without the skulls breaking or losing their detail. The material withstands the freezer and repeated use without losing its shape.

Use & Care

Fill the tray with water and place it in the freezer until the ice cubes are fully frozen. Gently twist the bottom of each mould to release the cubes, and rinse the tray with warm water after use before filling it again.

The bottle is not empty, but the evening is over, and now the wine needs to stay fresh until tomorrow. A good wine stopper is the difference between a flat, oxidised leftover and a glass that still tastes right the next day.

The Expert's Description

The Westmark Monopol Edition Silvio Wine Stopper is a wine stopper from the German kitchenware brand Westmark, designed to seal an opened bottle of wine tightly so the wine stays fresh for longer.

The stopper belongs to Westmark's Monopol Edition, a range of small, characterful kitchen and bar accessories. "Silvio" is shaped to seal tightly around the neck of the bottle, whether it is a Bordeaux bottle or a Burgundy bottle with a slightly wider neck, and is used just as easily as the original cork.

Design & Material

The design is simple and functional: a grip that is easy to hold, and a tight-fitting stopper that seals the bottle without needing to be twisted or forced into place.

Use & Care

Put the stopper in the neck of the bottle immediately after serving, and store the bottle standing or lying down as you normally would. Rinse the stopper in warm water between uses, so no wine residue is left behind to affect the taste next time.

Did You Know?

Many sommeliers recommend stoppering an opened bottle of wine straight away rather than waiting, because oxygen starts oxidising the wine the moment the cork comes out - even a simple wine stopper makes a noticeable difference after just a few hours.

A good water glass should do it all — including doubling as a whisky glass when the evening calls for it.
