Brunch Idea: Bloody Mary Bar

I love the idea of a Bloody Mary bar. Brunch, after all, usually features other kinds of bars or stations: omelet stations, waffle stations, pasta stations. Even oatmeal gets its own station. So why not drinks?

This Bloody Mary Bar from TK member Emily is genius. Imagine a killer Bloody Mary drink on a table surrounded by a spread of garnishes that includes thick cut bacon, pepperoni chunks, smoked cheese, pickles, stuffed olives, celery (of course), and just about anything else you can think of. You have your protein, vegetable (celery), fruit (tomato), carb (liquor of choice), and dairy (cheese garnish). It’s a complete meal, I’m telling you. Built on a drink base adapted from Liquor’s Elixir Bloody Mary and smoky mezcal in place of vodka, this may very well steal the show at your next brunch.

Thanks for sharing this, Emily! Check out her blog, Jelly Toast for more of her recipes and stunning photography.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
