Toward the end of June, I attended a conference in Kohler, Wisconsin. I stayed at the beautiful American Club resort and was able to play golf at both Blackwolf Run and the Irish Course at Whistling Straits. I also so happened to squeeze in some time to have a few bloodies. Read on.
The Horse & Plow is an upscale pub located at the American Club resort. I had dinner there late one evening and couldn’t resist sampling their Bloody-and I’m glad I did.
Spice: Not spicy hot, but good.
Mix: The description says “house-made tomato juice ran through the garden”
Chaser: Small Miller Lite
Fixin’s: Lemon, Celery, Pickle, Olives, Brussels Sprout, Onion & Pepperocini
Price: $9
Here’s another photo, courtesy of Jason Oates, a fellow Bloody fan that I met at the conference:
The next day, I had a bloody while playing at Blackwolf Run; however—and this is so unlike me—I neglected to take a photo. In my defense, it wasn’t anything special as it was made from the drink cart and thus, limited in quality.
The following day I made sure to get to the course early so I could try a Bloody made at the bar at the Whistling Straits pub.
Spice: Nice blend of spices.
Mix: Unsure.
Chaser: None offered.
Fixin’s: Lemon, Lime, Pickle, Olive
Price: Unknown (drinks provided as part of our package)
The moral of the story? If you’re looking for a good Bloody Mary in Kohler, be sure to check out the Horse & Plow. You won’t be disappointed. And, as far as on the course Bloody Marys go, the ones at Blackwolf Run & Whistling Straits are average—nothing special but they will hit the spot just the same.
