Hello loyal readers! I apologize for the hiatus; we have some bloodies backlogged to review. Let’s get to it!

Back in March, on a flight layover through Minneapolis, we grabbed breakfast at the Twins Grill. We have a thing for airport bloodies in particular, so you know we ordered one! We were pleased to see an “Ultimate Bloody Mary” on the menu that stated this would be a “Mini Buffet in Every Glass!”

Indeed, this bloody hit the spot; a great place to hang while waiting for your flight and during any delays, for sure. A little disappointed they didn’t offer a chaser (this is the Midwest afterall), but hey, you take what you can get.

Spice & Mix: Unknown

Fixin’s: Beef Stick, Cheddar & Pepper Jack Cheese Cubes, Pepperoncini, Olive & Pickle Spear

Chaser: No chaser offered.

Price: $12.95

Atlanta, Georgia: LongHorn Steakhouse

It’s been quite awhile since we’ve traveled anywhere, much less by plane. But there’s something about an early morning flight that makes one crave a Bloody Mary and that hasn’t changed.

Thus, during our layover in Atlanta, we had to seek one out. We were unpleasantly surprised to find many of the dining options in our terminal at Atlanta’s Hartfield-Jackson International Airport closed or open with limited hours, but fortunately, we were able to grab a seat at the bar at LongHorn Steakhouse right when it opened.

While this was a standard bloody at best, somehow all bloodies at the airport just seem to hit the spot.

Spice & Mix: We didn’t have the chance to inquire, but we ordered ours spicy. There was a hint of an Asian-inspired spice that we couldn’t quite place. The bartender also talked us into making it a double (they use Helix Vodka).

Fixin’s: You get one olive and you’ll like it.

Chaser: None offered.

Price: $13.99 for a double

Of course, everything is also overpriced at the airport where they have you captive, but at this point in time, it was worth it. We also slept quite well on the second leg of our journey.

Moral of the story… if you’re looking for a Bloody at the ATL airport, you might have trouble finding one in the COVID-19 era, but in a pinch, LongHorn’s in Concourse C will do.

While waiting to board a recent flight, we stopped in for lunch at the Pizzeria Piccola inside General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

While we dined a on a personal pan pizza, we also decided to try one of their bloody marys… We’re not sure what it is about airports and airplanes and bloodies, but they somehow seem to go hand in hand.

MIX: Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Loaded Bloody Mary Mix, with Hickory Liquid Smoke

CHASER: None offered

FIXIN’S: Olive, Pickle, Celery, Lemon, Lime

PRICE: $12.99

This Bloody Mary was quite delicious. We would definitely recommend getting to the airport extra early to allow time to get through security….as well as to check out Pizzeria Piccola!

Last but  not least, I snuck in one more Bloody Mary on my way out of town.

I visited Cafe Intermezzo’s airport location as I waited to catch my flight.

It was an early morning flight, so I loved the opportunity to settle down once I got through this major airport’s security and terminals. I enjoyed breakfast, coffee and a Bloody.

This one wasn’t that special, either (and kind of pricey), but there is just something about a good airport Bloody Mary that overlooks a multitude of other issues. Cheers!
