In the world of morning cocktails, Bloody Mary’s are an unrivaled fan-favorite. Well, mimosas may give it some competition, but comparing these sweet and savory sips is like comparing apples to oranges, or, in this case, tomatoes to carrots!
A Bloody Mary is the perfect way to kick off any day of celebration! With just the right amount of buzz to wake you up, the savory tomato flavor is perfectly complimented by the tang and heat of olive brine, hot sauce and Worcestershire.
In the spirt of spring, and Easter if you celebrate, consider swapping tomato juice that gives this drink it’s “bloody” namesake for carrot juice! The result is a deliciously orange “Bunny Mary” that will have everyone hopping to the bar for another round!
