CROIX VALLEY: Garlic n Dill Bloody Mary Seasoning | Bloody Mary Seasoning | 355ml (12oz) bottle

Savoury, Herby, Built By Pitmasters

The Croix Valley crew out of Hudson, Wisconsin spend most weekends around a smoker, not a cocktail bar — but the same instinct for balanced, layered flavour that's earned this family nine World BBQ Championship titles shows up in every bottle they make. Garlic n Dill leans into the savoury, herbaceous side of a Bloody Mary rather than the heat, built for people who want depth over a burn.

The flavour

Front: roasted garlic and fresh tomato lead the way, rounded and mellow. Middle: a wave of dill and cracked pepper brings a pickle-jar brightness that lifts the whole mix. Finish: a soft, savoury close with just a whisper of warmth — clean enough to sip slowly.

How to use it

• Mix 3-4 tablespoons into chilled tomato juice with vodka and ice for a classic, herb-forward Bloody Mary
• Use as the savoury base for a bloody caesar — swap in clamato juice and you're set
• Batch it into a jug for brunch service; it holds its flavour well over a few hours in the fridge
• Left-field use: stir into sour cream or Greek yoghurt for an instant garlic-dill dip for chips or veg

In the bottle

A rusty orange-red liquid flecked with visible green dill and garlic pieces — settles between pours, so give it a solid shake before serving.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Garlic and dill do the talking here, not chilli — think pickle jar crossed with a ripe tomato patch, savoury enough to sip slowly through a whole brunch. If your table wants a splash of extra warmth on the side, Fancy Hanks Cayenne & Watermelon Hot Sauce goes nicely over the prawns. Simple drink, done properly — no fuss required.

Questions answered

What does Garlic n Dill Bloody Mary Seasoning taste like?

Savoury and herby rather than spicy — think roasted garlic, fresh dill and tomato, with only a light background warmth.

Can I use it in drinks other than a Bloody Mary?

Yes — it works well in a bloody caesar, a michelada, or stirred into savoury dips and marinades.

How long does an opened bottle last?

Keep it refrigerated after opening and use it within a similar timeframe to any tomato-based condiment — check the label for a specific best-by date.
