Picture this—it’s New Year’s Day, and you're nursing a slight hangover from the previous night. There’s nothing better than spending your morning on an outdoor patio, enjoying deliciously grilled food, and sipping on a premium Bloody Mary. It’s like multitasking at its finest—recovery, great food, and a top-notch drink all rolled into one. Combining these elements is not just practical; it’s essential for starting the year on the right foot.

Grilled bacon sliders paired with your favorite Bloody Mary are the perfect way to kickstart your day. Follow along for a foolproof guide to crafting a top-tier Bloody Mary, perfectly grilled sliders, and some handy grilling tips to ensure you ring in the new year in style.

Mastering the Perfect Bloody Mary

Grabbing a pre-made mix from the local store is never the way to go when it comes to celebrating New Year’s Day. Instead, take the time to gather the best ingredients well ahead of the festivities. Here’s what you’ll need for an unforgettable Bloody Mary:

  • Old Bay Seasoning
  • 3 ounces of premium vodka (Grey Goose, Absolut, or Cîroc)
  • 1 teaspoon of dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground celery seeds
  • 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’ve got your ingredients ready, making a great Bloody Mary is straightforward. Squeeze the lemon wedge into a shaker and add all the ingredients. Shake vigorously. Pour the mixture over ice in a 16-ounce glass and rim the glass with Old Bay Seasoning. All that’s left is to garnish it with a delicious slider.

Building the Perfect Slider Garnish

While the drink may help ease the headache, a perfectly grilled bacon slider will keep you grounded. Just like the premium drink, holidays demand a touch of extravagance. This grilled bacon slider recipe is sure to hit the spot when cooked to perfection.

Gather These Ingredients

  • 1 pound of lean ground beef (Angus, if possible)
  • 4 slices of thick-cut 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, BBQ sauce, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Shape the mixture into 2- to 3-ounce patties. A thicker patty is ideal because it allows you to control the heat on a high-quality PGS Grill and seal in the juices.

Flip the slider patty only once during cooking to lock in the flavors. When the patty is almost done, fold a slice of cheese so it fits neatly over the burger. Lower the heat, close the lid, and let the cheese melt. Prep the slider rolls by adding your preferred condiments to one side and layering lettuce, tomato, and onion on the other. The goal is to have a warm, juicy burger waiting for you on a freshly toasted bun.

Grilling Bacon on an Outdoor Gas Grill

The aroma of perfectly grilled bacon is worth waking up early for on New Year’s Day. However, cooking bacon can be tricky, especially on an outdoor gas grill. Without a few insider tips, you might end up with burnt bacon. The main issue with cooking bacon is the risk of grease catching fire when exposed to an open flame. Keep this in mind as you proceed.

Two methods are commonly used to achieve maximum flavor while avoiding flare-ups. The first involves using a cast-iron skillet placed directly on the grates. Ensure the skillet has high sides to prevent grease from splashing onto the grates and causing flare-ups. Lightly coat the skillet with non-stick oil or grease. Lay the bacon slices flat without overlapping them. Cook on medium-low heat with the lid closed until one side is nearly crispy. Flip the bacon and continue cooking until done.

The second method uses a cast-iron skillet in a slightly different way. Follow the same preparation steps but light one side of the grill and place the skillet on the cooler side. This is called "indirect heat" grilling. The idea is to slowly cook the bacon, allowing the smoky flavor and juices to infuse more deeply. While this method takes longer, the results are worth the wait.

Handling a Bacon Grease Fire

In the unlikely event of a grease fire, safety should always come first. Never try to douse a grease fire with water, as it can spread the flames. Here’s what you should do instead:

  • Leave the skillet in place.
  • Cover the flames with a lid or close the grill lid.
  • Turn off the heat.
  • Smother the flames using salt or baking soda.
  • If the fire grows, use a fire extinguisher.

Remember, prioritize safety and call the fire department if you feel the situation is escalating.

Assuming everything goes smoothly, remove the grilled bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels. Cut the bacon in half and serve it on the slider rolls.

Assembling Your New Year’s Day Grilled Bloody Mary

Place a long skewer through your grilled bacon slider and balance it on the rim of the Bloody Mary glass. For added flair, include a long celery stalk, another skewer of cherry tomatoes, olives, or even lime wedges. While there’s no wrong way to enjoy a grilled Bloody Mary, there’s certainly a right way. Opt for a top-shelf drink adorned with sliders made on a high-quality PGS Grill.
