These finalists are out for Bloody

Thrillist’s Search for America’s Best Bloody is down to 8 finalists -- all headed to the NYC Wine & Food Festival to compete for the championship, brought to you by ABSOLUT.

Now it’s time to show off your skills, by whipping up those finalists’ recipes

We’ve got wildly varied Bloodys for every occasion. Looking for a drink that looks as good in an ascot as it does in a glass? Try the Country Club Spicy Saint Mary. How about a sippable that moonlights as a detective/ace defense attorney? Try the Bloody Mason. Whichever way you pour it, the real winner is you.
