I’m far from a mixologist, but I would say that I’ve dabbled in the vodka-related arts, if you will. This Bloody Mary cocktail is a really straightforward version of the classic you know and love. There are a million variations and I love seeing everyone’s unique twists on these brunching little babies. Hell, I’ve seen entire MEALS stacked on top of a Bloody Mary – and that, my friends, takes talent. So switch it up, make it your own. Like a bit of a brine? Add a little pickle juice or jazz it up with some olives. Craving something spicy? Amp up the hot the sauce. But above all else: BRUNCH RESPONSIBLY BABES.
