The Bloody Mary

My mister loves my bloody marys so much so he bought me an engagement ring after sipping on one of these bad boys. Okay, okay in fairness I think he bought the ring beforehand and this is his "job well done" beverage.

There once was a time that the idea of a bloody mary was just plain gross to me. I don't even like tomatoes, let alone tomato juice.
Add vodka? It doesn't sound much better.
And while many places add pizzaz in their garnish and think that is the making of a really good mary, others skip the fluff and just make a GOOD bloody mary. Don't get me wrong, I like shrimp, beans, asparagus, olives and more. But the salad atop my cocktail will not change what lies inside.
I pride myself on mine. They are damn tasty~though if you don't like 'em spicy I am then at a loss.....it's just vodka and tomato juice. *crinkles nose* ew.
Some of my favorite ingredients include olive juice, squeeze of lime, horseradish, tabasco sauce and Demitris. Demitris is the best little zesty squeeze to add to a good bloody mary but many places make the mistake in thinking that this is magic in a bottle and use only this. Just a word of advice. Buy some. Use it. But don't think that is going to make a special mary. :)

If you're hankering for a tasty bloody mary come see me at Maxwell's Monday-Wednesday.

If you happen to be out and about on a Sunday for brunch I'd recommend Masa's bloody mary. Only $3.50 (or there abouts)!!! Though they can be a bit inconsistant in spice and maybe even liquor level, when they get it right it's perfection.
