Mequon, WI: Cafe 1505

There’s no bad time for a Bloody Mary, but typically, we don’t get to enjoy them on a random midweek morning unless we’re on vacation.

However, this week, we found ourselves in Mequon for a couple of appointments. Upon searching for a good breakfast spot in the area, we popped in to Cafe 1505 between meetings and, once we saw the Bloody Mary menu, we couldn’t resist.

The Signature Verde Bloody Mary in particular caught our eye. And, while it was very tasty and came with plenty of fixin’s, we were momentarily disappointed that it wasn’t green! We thought there had been a mix-up, but our waitress explained that the homemade tomatillo salsa verde was added to their signature mix. 

That totally made sense and was a bonus because if you’re a loyal reader you know we love Sacramento as a base! 

Here’s the breakdown of this one:

Spices/Flavor: Scratch crafted with sacramento tomato juice, worcestershire, cholula, celery salt, lime + Tito’s; Housemade Tomatillo Salsa Verde

Fixin’s: Pickle, Olive, Wisconsin Cheese, Usinger’s Chorizo

Chaser: Add Rhinelander shorty beer chaser for $2

Price: $11

Breakfast was very good with lots of sweet, savory and healthy options. Next time we find ourselves on that side of town, we’ll be back to try another one!

Last night, I attended a fundraiser at Cafe 1505 in Mequon. While the event featured wine and beer, it was the Bloody Mary listed on their chalkboard that caught my eye.

I inquired and was told their Happy Hour “Verde Mary” was not green as I would have thought, but rather just quite spicy. The Monticello, on the other hand, was more unique– it is made using a Sage Liqueur and a homemade miz.

Fortunately, they were serving them even though it was a special event and a Friday night.

Cafe 1505 Bloody Mary

Mix: Homemade with Sacramento Tomato Juice, Sage Liqueur, Pickle Juice and Horseradish

Chaser: No

Fixin’s: Lemon, Lime, Olive, 2 cubes of cheese and a slice of sausage.

Price: $9.50

This Bloody Mary was delicious. You could definitely taste the Sage Liqueur, but it wasn’t too overpowering or distracting. It meshed nicely with the Sacramento tomato juice (my favorite!) and the other flavors.

I would definitely order this drink again and encourage you to give it a try if you find yourself at Cafe 1505.
