I’m not going to lie to you; the Bloody Mary is not one of my all time favorite cocktails. In fact, I don’t really like them much at all. However, I’m now going to flip flop a bit and say that while I don’t generally like them they do go quite well with a savory brunch. Picture a well prepared omelet, perhaps some home fries or a good hash, some good bread toasted. What do you pair with such a fine repast? A Bloody Mary. It ties together the whole savory vibe. You could even tweak the standard recipe by adding a flavor from your omelet to really pull it all together. So, now that I have your mind moving in the right direction here’s my preferred Bloody recipe and the link back to my previous post if you’d like to read my full thoughts. Enjoy!
