If a bartender ever says to you, "Be careful, that Scorching Bloody Mary mix is really spicy. Don't over do it."
The correct response is, "Thank you. I'll keep that in mind."
Do not, I repeat, do not answer, "I love spicy stuff. I can take it." Then proceed to fill your entire Bloody Mary with the Scorching Mix. It's stupid. Chances are the bartender made the mix, which I had, or at least has tasted the mix before. You, being the complete and utter tool that the bartender recognized you to be when you saddled up to the bar, will regret your poor decision.
The bartender will alert the entire staff of your situation, and then you will notice more and more observers coming to the bar. They will all eye you unashamedly, and try to hide their smirks as you constantly blow your nose, cough, turn red, add more and more ice to your drink, and ask for your fifth refill of your water through teary eyes. Just make sure that when you finally abandon your precious beverage, with less than an inch consumed, to thank the bartender on your way out. He tried to be helpful. He warned you, but you didn't listen, and you wasted $7 plus tip on 1 inch of a drink that you might have enjoyed if you had just used the Medium Mix. Easily avoided...

If you want a great bloody mary then you have to try Mad Pepper. There's simply no comparison.
Trust me, I went from zero to hero after developing the recipe behind the bar. Now it's mass produced. Try the "MaryNade" or "Top Shelf". "MaryNade" is a Spice Concentrate added to Vodka and Tomato Juice. "Top Shelf" is ready-to-go, just add Vodka.
Cheers,
The Mad Pepper
