Ring in the New Year with a Perfect Grilled Bloody Mary and Bacon Sliders
5 minute read | Recipes

Imagine it's New Year’s Day, and you're still recovering from the night before. Three things are essential: fresh air on an outdoor patio, delicious food cooked on a PGS Grill, and a top-shelf Bloody Mary. Why not combine all three for a perfect start to the new year?
That’s why pairing grilled bacon sliders with a refreshing Bloody Mary while sitting under a patio heater is a must. This guide includes a recipe for a premium Bloody Mary, grilled bacon sliders, and some grilling tips to help you welcome the new year in style.
How to Make a Top-Shelf Bloody Mary
Rushing to grab a pre-made mix from the store isn’t the way to go. Instead, prepare your own using high-quality ingredients for a more satisfying drink. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Old Bay Seasoning
- 3 ounces of Grey Goose, Absolut, Cîroc, or any premium vodka
- 1 teaspoon of dried dill
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground celery
- 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 everything ready, simply squeeze the lemon into a shaker, add all the ingredients, shake well, and pour over ice. Rim the glass with Old Bay and garnish with a grilled bacon slider for the ultimate combo.
How to Make a Great Slider Garnish
A perfectly grilled bacon slider can be the perfect balance to a strong Bloody Mary. The key is to use quality ingredients and grill them just right. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound of lean ground beef (Angus if possible)
- 4 slices of thick bacon
- 1/4 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
Combine the ground beef with BBQ sauce and garlic powder, then shape into 2–3 ounce patties. Cook on a PGS Grill, flipping only once to lock in juices. Add a slice of cheese on top and let it melt under the lid.
Make sure the slider rolls are ready in advance. Spread condiments on one side and layer lettuce, tomato, and onion on the other. Once the burger is ready, place it on the roll and enjoy.
How to Cook Bacon on an Outdoor Gas Grill
Cooking bacon on a gas grill can be tricky, but with the right technique, you can achieve that smoky flavor without flare-ups. One effective method is to use a cast-iron skillet placed directly on the grates. Lightly oil the pan, lay the bacon flat, and cook on medium heat until crispy. Flip and finish cooking.
Another option is to use indirect heat by placing the skillet on the cooler side of the grill. This allows the bacon to cook slowly, infusing more flavor and keeping it juicy. Either way, the result is a perfectly grilled bacon slice that pairs beautifully with a Bloody Mary.
What to Do If a Grease Fire Happens
If a grease fire occurs, never 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 it gets out of control, call emergency services immediately.
Once the bacon is done, place it on paper towels and cut it in half. Put it on a slider roll and get ready for the main event.
Assemble Your New Year’s Grilled Bloody Mary
Build your sliders and insert a skewer through the center so it stands upright in the Bloody Mary glass. Add a celery stalk or cherry tomatoes for extra flair. This is the ultimate way to celebrate the new year—top-shelf drink, grilled food, and a little bit of fun.
Enjoy your New Year’s Day with this unforgettable combination of flavors and experiences.
