Should You Use Crushed Ice for This Cocktail?
Absolutely. Crushed ice isn’t just for tiki drinks, it gives The Bloody Concoction a better dilution rate and keeps that bright, juicy flavor refreshing.

You can use an ice crusher, blender, or even a sturdy mallet and towel (old-school style) to make it at home.
