From Up North, we headed down south as our travels next took us to Englewood, Florida. No less than four days after we had our first wine-based Bloody Mary, we were invited to visit the Blue Pineapple Bistro where all of their bloodies are made with a wine-based alcohol! Seriously, what are the chances?
Blue Pineapple has multiple bloodies on its menu which double as entire meals. Choose from cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, crab, antipasto and more:
And, although they each retail for $20, consider it your lunch/dinner and a drink. We made the mistake of also ordering
Spice & Mix: House mix with a wine-based alcohol
Fixin’s: SO MANY. They vary by the type you order. See photos above!
Chaser: None offered.
Price: $20
We decided to go with the cheese burger slider bloody and were not disappointed. Bacon, sliders, onion rings, pickles and more topped this delicious beverage and, again, you couldn’t tell that the drink was made with wine instead of vodka. The drink was super smooth and delicious.
The atmosphere here was also great. We sat on the patio in the sunshine and listed to live music by an acoustic guitarist while we dined.
This place is a must-go if you’re anywhere within 20 minutes of Englewood. Add it to your list and come hungry!
