After a long day of Black Friday shopping, I made my way to Tally’s Tap in Waukesha, and their Bloody Mary was the perfect way to wind down. Served in an adorable mason jar, this $10 cocktail was both charming and delicious—a great reward after braving the holiday crowds.

The drink is made with Zing Zang mix and Absolut Vodka, with the rim dusted in Forest Floor Salt, adding an earthy depth to every sip. The flavor was bold and well-balanced, striking just the right mix of spice and smoothness.

The garnishes were impressive and plentiful: lemon, lime, asparagus, green bean, mushroom, olive, pickle, beef stick, and cheese. It was essentially a full snack tray in a glass! To top it off, you get a chaser of your choice, and I opted for a Spotted Cow, which paired perfectly with the rich, savory flavors of the Bloody.

The presentation in the mason jar added a fun, rustic touch, making the drink as Instagram-worthy as it was delicious. Tally’s Tap’s cozy atmosphere and attention to detail made this a stop I’ll be eager to repeat.

Mayville, WI: The Meating Place

Recently, I played golf at Mayville Golf Course in Mayville, Wisconsin. I was particularly looking forward to this trip because of the restaurant’s 19th hole: The Meating Place and the specialty bloodies I had read about on their website.

It was a lovely, sunny fall day and the course was in great shape. The trees were in peak color and because the course was so hilly, there are great views for miles. There weren’t a lot of people playing, so we finished relatively quickly and headed to the bar, just in time to see a Packers victory in the final minutes of the game.

I ordered a Bloody Mary and was just a little disappointed when the bartender told me they didn’t have the special bloodies listed on the website. I wish they had special offerings, and considering the restaurant is called “The Meating Place,” you’d expect a beef stick, bacon, or something else fun as a fixin’. However, I couldn’t complain about the one I received, which, albeit standard was still very good, with a reasonable price.

It looked like the bar had supplied snacks at half-time and the crowd was lively inside the bar. It was a fun atmosphere to celebrate the win and count up our strokes.

The Bloody Mary

  • Spices/Flavor: Zing Zang and regular vodka
  • Fixin’s: Pickle and Olive
  • Chaser: Yes, any tapper
  • Price: $6.50

Mayville is a bit of a haul for our group, so I’m not sure when we’ll next return, but it’s nice knowing they have a great bar and restaurant right on the property to enjoy a post-round beverage and catch a game.
