Can I change up the garnishes for the cocktail?
I chose the garnish ingredients in this recipe because most of them are very easy to find. Some other choices you could purchase are pickled dilly green beans, pickled okra, spicy pickles or other pickled vegetables.
If you can’t find celery with the leaves then just use celery sticks! Have fun with the garnishes, it adds to the drink but don’t fuss to much as the Bloody Mary and Grilled Shrimp are the star of the this appetizer.
