Today we’re making the Bloody Mary! It’s one of the most recognizable cocktails out there - a brunch staple that’s been around for nearly a century. I’ve always found this drink kind of funny, because these days, the garnish gets more attention than the drink itself! In this video, I’ll show you the Bloody Mary recipe I like best, and then we’ll have some fun with the garnishes. Anything goes here, so get creative. Cheers!
