Mary’s a Rare Breed
Bourbon is an ideal match for the Bloody Mary. The deep, richness and full body of bourbon complements the spice and texture of the Bloody Mary components of seasoning and tomato juice. Simply phenomenal. Bourbon takes the sharp bite out of the traditional vodka Bloody Mary cocktail and adds warmth and smoothness. For those who consume this particular drink for the “nutrient” virtues (wink, wink), bourbon gives this more substantial feel. But keep dreaming. The Mary’s a Rare Breed won’t find its way to any healthy choice menu anytime soon with its alcohol base. Continue to consume this one responsibly.
