Olive Crostini

Bloody Mary Bars sound like fun. So for my girls night in I decided to do one so everyone could "create" their own drink! They are really easy to do since most people have the ingredients in their own pantry. For mine, I put out tomato juice, vodka, ice, green olives, black olives, stalks of celery, clam juice (yes-- clam juice is a staple in my pantry!), horseradish, Worchester sauce, hot sauce, lemons, limes, fresh ground pepper, sea salt, celery salt, lemon pepper, seasoned salt, old bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

I wanted to make sure that the food paired well with the drinks. I served shrimp, an assortment of cheese and meats with crackers, homemade spiced nuts, along with this olive crostini which was the perfect accompaniment!
