One of my most favorite Bloodies is available at Juniper 61, right in my own backyard!
This is not your average garden-variety bloody, but one of the secrets to its goodness is garden-related: Juniper 61 makes its own vegetable-infused vodka (pictured above).
Tonight, the bartender let me try a sip of the vodka on its own. You can definitely taste the earthy essence of onion, tomato, garlic, peppers, etc. It is just perfect for this drink!
(Note: They also have an apple-infused vodka for fall, used in salted caramel apple martinis and such—delicious!)
The fixin’s on this bloody are also amazingly fresh and tasty as well. Read on!
Mix: They have their own mix, in addition to their own vegetable-infused vodka.
Spice: Not very spicy but extremely flavorful.
Chaser: Choose from an array of local brews. I picked the unconventional Lakefront Pumpkin Ale because pumpkin anything is another one of my obsessions.
Fixin’s: Lemon, smoked gouda cheese, carrot slice, cucumber slice, two bleu cheese stuffed olives, a pickle and celery
Price: $8
