The Bloody Mary is brunch's whole personality, and at Greer Southern Table it's a house institution — a tomato mix made the night before, built tall, and garnished like a meal. The Swamp Dust rim is the SGP move: a Cajun edge on the very first sip. Pair with Swamp Dust · Serves 1 (mix makes 8) · Mix ahead 24 hrs.
Ingredients
- House mix (makes ~1 quart): 32 oz tomato juice
- 2 Tbsp prepared horseradish
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp hot sauce
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp celery salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Swamp Dust
- 2 Tbsp pickle brine

- Garnish: pickled okra, a smoked olive, celery stalk, lemon wedge, and a boiled peanut
Directions
- 1
Make the mix (night before). Whisk all house-mix ingredients together; cover and refrigerate overnight — the flavor deepens dramatically after 24 hours.
- 2
Rim the glass. Run a lemon wedge around a pint glass rim and dip in Swamp Dust.
- 3
Build. Fill with ice, pour the vodka, add 4 oz house mix; stir gently from the bottom, four or five slow turns.

Garnish big. Pickled okra, olive, celery, lemon, and a boiled peanut. Serve with a straw.
Greer's Bar Notes
- Make the mix ahead — a day in the fridge is the difference between good and great.
- The Swamp Dust rim seasons every sip; don't skip it.
- The garnish is a snack, not a decoration.
Made with Swamp Dust — the GST institution, rimmed and built tall.
