It has been almost two years since my first visit to Bluephies Restaurant & Vodkatorium in Madison, Wisconsin
After reading about the Top 15 Over the Top Bloody Marys from Eater.com, I was excited to see that three of the 15 were from Wisconsin (represent!).
There are four different kinds of Bloody Marys on the menu, including a flight which offers the chance to taste three different Bloodies.
Last time I was here, I chose the one with the most fixin’s, which also seemed to be their signature drink: The FAT BOY Bloody Mary, but this time, I tried the flight.
From left to right: Fat Boy, Bloody Maria (with Tequila) and Habanero.
Spice: Varied by type, obviously. The Bloody Maria had a lot of lime/salt on the rim, so it almost tasted like a tomato-flavored margarita.
Mix: They make their own!
Chaser: None offered.
Fixin’s: olives, lemon and lime across he board, with bacon and cheese in the Fat Boy.
Price: $10
Each Bloody Mary was very good, but the Fat Boy was still my favorite. I find it a bit odd that they don’t offer a flight containing a sample of each of their Bloody Marys on the menu. I would have loved the chance to sample the “Tater Tot Casserole” and other fun Bloodies that I didn’t get to yet. Also, set up as is, the only way to get the Habanero Bloody with the jalapeno vodka, is via flight (unless you order off-menu, I suppose).
Perplexing, but still delicious. I hope to come back for brunch next time–hopefully sooner than two more years down the road!
