![[Life: List’d] Best Damn Bloody Mary-thon
For years I have been wanting to do a Bloody Mary-thon, criss crossing around the city in search of the best bloody mary (and the worst hangover). Hopefully this will be the year I can convince my friends to come along.
I’ve been compiling a list throughout my tenure, some I have, some I haven’t. So far my list includes:
King Cole at the Saint Regis: many people believe the Bloody Mary was invented here (originally called the Red Snapper), $18 a pop
Prune: they have an entire menu devoted to them
Pravda: basic w/a plethora of vodka options
Alias: crustacean w/old bay, shrimp and a double shot of vodka (hairy mary)
Jane: standard, solid, smooth
7A: so damn cheap
J.G. Melon: with beef consumme
Char No. 4: spicy style
Superfine: the perfect thickness
Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel: with a boiled shrimp & an olive
Gramercy Tavern: a smooth classic
Great Jones Cafe: cajun style w/tequila
Pastis: with bloody bull
Ed’s Lobster bar: with an oyster
Odeon: plain & simple, no extra garnish
Bemelman’s at the Carlyle - apparently they have their own special mixer
Spotted Pig - shave their own horseradish + awesome pickles (added via the lovely Emily)
Five Points - Clam Juice Bloody (added via the lovely Nora Leah)
Clover Club - Barmen’s Bloody, rye whiskey, Fernet-Branca, basil (added via the lovely Nora Leah)
Lodge - comes highly recommended by Kevin
Hugs - also in brooklyn, also recommended by Kevin
I’m sure this list is far from complete. So chime in and I’ll keep updating it. I’d love to know what you think is missing?](http://26.media.tumblr.com/xFX7HFUwdpf5ewz5Bbzdu4Ygo1_400.jpg)
