I DO love a good Bloody Mary (started off my day today with one at a really neat diner). I'm really hoping the event below is continued again this October. Most of these sound utterly amazing. Thanks, Wren! I WILL have a green Bloody Mary before I croak. Never even knew they existed.
From the site:
Our second annual celebration of the Bloody Mary kicks off October 9th, 2021. The Monster Mash adds a haunted twist to this storied beverage, challenging more than a dozen Northern Liberties bars to up their game and add some spooky design. Sponsored by locally made Stateside Vodka.
Drinkers will have nine days to taste each bloody and rate them on spice, taste, bling, and “halloweeniness.” Bragging rights will be awarded for each category and for the best overall Bloody Mary in the neighborhood.
And here are 2021's offerings...
Anejo – The Green Goblin: This cocktail bleeds green with a house-made base of tomatillos, cucumber, yellow tomato, jalepeno, hot sauce, horseradish, worchestshire, celery seed, salt & pequin pepper. Featuring Crystal Head Onyx Agave Vodka with bacon-washed Creyente Mezcal.
Cantina Dos Segundos – Brujah’s Brew: Those who seek a drink born from fire, look no further than this spicy & tangy Mary built on a pyre of roasted tomatillo, green tomato, roasted peppers, and finished with a kick of citrus.
Bourbon & Branch – The Hail Mary – Jersey fresh tomato, horseradish, black pepper infused vodka, cajun spice, coconut aminos, garnished with Pizza Gutt pan pizza, onion rings, chicken tenders, pepperoni, buttermilk ranch and a pickled long hot. It’s a meal in a glass!

Where has all of this been hiding? (right in plain sight, probably) How have I been so sheltered? (oh, yeah, because I never go anywhere)
In retrospect, this all seems so elementary..of course tomatillo is an option! Obviously Calabrian chile, Genovese basil, and Ghost pepper would complement it!
This is great...I can borrow from any / all of this, and now have all of Saturday to plan and gather stuff for a righteous Sunday morning Bloody Mary.
I’m a big fan of Bloody Marys with an entire meal stuck on top.
Same! I've had one with a small burger on top. And an egg. And some shrimp.
Wow! Now that's Food Porn at its BEST! So Gorgeous. Very exciting that MOST of these spots are in Northern Liberties, Philly! That area is Xtra great in the Fall. It's also near the Edgar Allan Poe House (still slim visiting hrs tho) which makes for a lovely date of strolling & tying a load on during the most Magical time of the year! haha. We're definitely going to check this out. i'm very intrigued by "The Balck Widow." Can't Wait.<3
Yeah, that Widow sounded really good! Love how they write "garnished of course with a whole prawn."
Of course.
Wow. I too love Bloody Mary's. This list though makes mine look incredibly pedestrian. But I'm usually making mine on go. Softball, boat, or on the tractor. Probably shouldn't put that in type. I'd love a pub crawl to this list.
Pro tip though, always have a side car of an amber beer to sip inbetween. Great pairing. I usually pour in an amber in the vessel afterward to mix in with remaining remnants.
