Celebrate New Years Day With The Ultimate Grilled Bloody Mary Recipe

Imagine it’s New Year’s Day, and you're still recovering from last night's festivities. Three things are essential: fresh air on a sunny patio, a delicious meal cooked on a PGS Grill, and a top-shelf Bloody Mary. Why not combine them all for a perfect start to the new year?

That’s why grilling bacon sliders while enjoying a refreshing Bloody Mary under a patio heater is more than just a treat—it's a must. This guide includes a premium Bloody Mary recipe, grilled bacon sliders, and expert grilling tips to help you welcome the new year in style.

How to Make a Premium Bloody Mary

Grabbing a pre-made mix from the store might be quick, but it’s not the best way to celebrate. Instead, prepare your own using high-quality ingredients for a drink that truly stands out. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Old Bay Seasoning
• 3 ounces of Grey Goose, Absolut, Cîroc, or any top-shelf vodka
• 1 teaspoon of dried dill
• 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of ground celery seed
• 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
• 3 dashes of Tabasco sauce
• 1 ounce of pickle brine
• 4 ounces of tomato-vegetable juice
• 1 lemon wedge
• 1 teaspoon of red horseradish

Once you have all the ingredients ready, simply squeeze the lemon into a shaker, add everything else, shake well, and pour over ice. Rim the glass with Old Bay seasoning and serve with a grilled bacon slider for the ultimate combo.

How to Make a Perfect Bacon Slider

A grilled bacon slider isn’t just a side—it's a flavor-packed centerpiece. To make one, gather these ingredients:

• 1 pound of lean ground beef (Angus preferred)
• 4 thick slices of bacon
• ¼ cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
• 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
• Sliced dill pickles
• Lettuce
• 1 sliced tomato
• ½ onion, sliced
• American or Swiss cheese
• Slider rolls (potato bread if available)
• Condiments
• Skewers

Mix the ground beef with BBQ sauce and garlic powder, then form into 2–3 ounce patties. Cook on a PGS Grill until done, adding cheese halfway through. Assemble the slider with your favorite toppings and enjoy the smoky, juicy goodness.

Grilling Bacon on an Outdoor Gas Grill

There’s something special about the smell of grilled bacon on a chilly New Year’s morning. But grilling it can be tricky. The key is to avoid flare-ups by using a cast-iron skillet placed directly on the grill grates. Add a light layer of oil, place the bacon flat, and cook on low heat until crispy. Flip once for even cooking.

Another method is to use indirect heat by placing the skillet on the cooler side of the grill. This slow-cooking technique enhances the smoky flavor and locks in juices, making the bacon even more delicious.

What to Do If a Grease Fire Happens

If a grease fire occurs, don't use water—it can make it worse. Instead, cover the pan with a lid, turn off the heat, and use salt or baking soda to smother the flames. If the fire gets out of control, use a fire extinguisher and call emergency services immediately.

Once the bacon is cooked, place it on paper towels to drain, then cut in half and serve on slider rolls.

Assemble Your New Year’s Grilled Bloody Mary

Build your sliders and insert a skewer into the glass so the slider sits on the rim. Add a celery stalk or cherry tomatoes for extra flair. Whether you're hosting a party or celebrating alone, this combination is sure to impress.

Enjoy your New Year’s Day with a top-shelf Bloody Mary, perfectly grilled bacon, and the best of outdoor cooking.
