@habacuk1985 Shaken vs rolled really depends on the drinker. The Bloody Mary is my favourite drink and I've had countless amounts of them both rolled and shaken, both are good.

[habacuk1985]

it is called wooster sauce, by the way i do not think the bloody mary should be shaken! tomato juice gets thick and frothy you dont want that better roll it !

You pronounce it "wooster" sauce...at least that's how the English say it. Nobody in England says the whole word but if you insist, it would sound like "woostersher" with the last "er" sounding almost like an "a". Hope that helps.

that looks FUCKING DISCUSTING!

You are awesome Robert. Can't wait for you to maybe sit down at my bar so I can make you an Old Fashioned.

@lamonight - "Rolling" a Bloody Mary (pouring from one mixing tin to another, instead of shaking) is typically the accepted way of doing it. Folks say the issue is that if you shake it this will "break" the texture of the tomato juice, causing it to lose its slightly more viscous nature. Myself, I don't really notice much difference, and so I will normally shake it. But yes, in my book I refer to rolling it instead.
