Thanks to Cicero Beverage Company for sending me its new Bacon Bloody Mary Mix to review!
Between going “out for bloodies” and my travel schedule, it usually takes a special occasion for me to make them at home; this time, I broke out the bottle to make Bloodies with some friends on a Sunday Funday.
To keep the test pure, I sampled the mix with an unflavored Three Olives. I did not add any spices, but I topped the drink with olives, celery, cheese, meat, a pickle and a brussels sprout.
Cicero Beverage Company is a local family-owned Chicagoland company that makes award-winning sodas in addition to Bloody Mary Mix.
They current have three different Bloody Mary Mixes: Premium, Horseradish and Bacon. All of these mixes are made with the highest quality ingredients and are gluten-free.
The Bacon Bloody Mary Mix is the newest addition to this lineup and it received a 2014 BevStar Award from Beverage World Magazine.It is currently sold at Cost Plus World Market Stores nationwide and distributed in 12 states.
And this is where we come in. A company rep wanted to spread the word, so they reached out to me and sent me a sample.
The verdict? All of us agreed–the mix was very good! It was the perfect consistency and had a nice flavor to it. It is not spicy hot in my opinion, it just has a nice overall taste. The bacon flavor is not overpowering; there are small pieces of dehydrated (I think) bacon in it, which give it some texture, too.
Thanks again to the good folks at Cicero for the sample!
Cheers!
Out For Bloodies
