On my first day in Sydney, I stopped in at a funky little place called Darlo Bar.
I asked if they had Bloodies and was pleased when the bartender said yes—and asked if I liked them spicy.
This was made with a homemade mix and Belvedere Vodka. It had a little kick to it, but it was a unique kick, not sure that it was Tobasco.
Fixin’s and chasers are literally foreign here, so none of that was to be expected; a stalk of celery and you’re good to go.
One other interesting tidbit is that the bartender inquired as to whether I would like “35ml of vodka or 50.” I am also quickly learning that drinks here do NOT come cheap.
