Bloody Marys, or "snacks" as I affectionately call them, are my absolute favorite cocktail. They are a tall glass of salty goodness, and if there's one on your menu, you can bet I am ordering it. When it comes to Bloody Marys, I am known for ordering a trio of beverages: the bloody, a water, and a coke. Trust me that this trio will make your brunch adventure that much more enjoyable.
As a nod to my go-to brunch beverage, I thought I would give you a quick round-up of my favorite Bloody Marys in Atlanta and what makes them so delicious!
Number 1 Pick: 6 Feet Under, Grant Park
This bloody is by far my number one pick. It has the perfect amount of spice, is rimmed in a delicious salt & Old Bay seasoning, and comes with a Guinness floater. Yes, you read that right. Just pour your tiny glass of Guinness right over the top and enjoy.
Number 2 Pick: Folk Art, Inman Park
Coming in a close second is the delicious Mary at Folk Art (my number one brunch pick too). Unfortunately on Sundays, you can't nab this little glass of happy until 12:30, but that hasn't stopped me yet. I love the banana pepper that is gingerly placed in the glass, and the thickness of this bloody can't be beat.
Number 3 Pick: The Nook, Midtown
Three words for you: bacon infused vodka. Traditionally, I like my Bloody Marys to be made with gin (called a Red Snapper), but the Nook had me at bacon. This twist gives their bloody a unique taste, plus they offer a super-sized version that is apparently an Atlanta must-try.
So tell me, where's the best bloody in your town? I'm on a mission to find the best one in the whole world!
I love Bloody Marys!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I've been known to drink them at all times during the day: daytime, nighttime, any time :)
DeleteThe best Bloody Mary in the entire world is my father-in-law's version. He makes it with Clamato juice and {secret ingredient} beef broth. They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow do I get my hands on this recipe?!
DeleteSO I don't really like bloody mary's but you left two off this list that are actually quite amazing. Bantam + Biddy's Biddy Mary is amazing which is second to only Murphy's (in the virginia highlands) Bloody Mary. Both are absolutely excellent, and I'm really not into them!
