I recently dined at the new Red Dot in Wauwatosa.

Formerly Sherbrooke, I had enjoyed Bloodies in this establishment in the past.

Under the same ownership, much of the menu is similar (yep-they still have poutine!); however, it looks like they’ve added some new Bloodies to their list—always a great improvement. I last reviewed the Garlic Basil Bloody, so I decided to try the “Rabbit’s Revenge” this time.

Made with home-infused carrot & ginger vodka with a touch of garlic-infused honey, this was definitely an interesting drink.

Spice: A mix of sweet and spicy.

Mix: Unknown; I have learned that I do enjoy house-infused vodka though!

Chaser: Yes

Fixin’s: Pickle, Olive, Meat and Cheese

Price: $8

I love this little restaurant and am so happy to see Tosa hustling and bustling with all of the new additions. I hope Red Dot sticks around for a long time!

The Real Dill, Co. Bloody Mary Mix

I recently received a treat from The Real Dill, Co., a company that specialized in “hand-crafted, artisan pickles” from Denver, Colorado.

The mix comes n a 32-oz. jar, is 100% natural and slightly spicy. The ingredients are: fresh cucumber water, organic tomato paste, vinegar, salt, fresh dill, fresh horseradish, fresh habanero, spices, and fresh garlic.

Very, very flavorful mix and it tasted just so very fresh. The only drawbacks are: 1) I didn’t have any Real Dill Co. pickles to add as fixin’s for a true taste experience and 2) at 32-oz., I was only able to make two bloodies (what are the rest of you guys gonna drink? :))

But all kidding aside, awesome mix. Highly recommend. Thank you so much, Real Dill!

Cheers!

Merry Christmas, Sobelman’s!

This week, I got an excellent surprise from “Santa” and the good folks at Sobelman’s, home one of my favorite Bloody Marys:

You can guess one place where I’ll be spending my time this holiday

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

CHEERS!

This past weekend,  was finishing up some holiday shopping at Bayshore Mall and decided to pop in to the new Sprecher Restaurant and Pub for lunch.

To my surprise (and delight), I realized their drink menu also featured a special Bloody Mary: The Bloody Boot.

Spice: Very spicy, taste-wise and the amount of pepper/spices floating in the drink itself.

Mix: Unknown

Chaser: No (VERY surprising considering Sprecher is a brewery afterall)

Fixin’s: Lemon, Lemon, Celery, Olive, Pickle Slice, Cheese Curd

Price: $8 for the 28-oz boot (which you get to keep, well, to boot!) which entitles you to $5 refills, or $5 for pints.

All in all, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Sprecher had a specialty Bloody Mary. I also very much liked the look and feel of the place and the menu is very “Sconnie” yet broad, so there is sure to be something for everyone. I highly recommend you check it out next time you’re over in the Bayshore area!
