Twisted Sister

Tweaking classic cocktails with different spirits keeps happy hour, brunches and informal gatherings flavorful and interesting. This variation on the classic Bloody Mary brings a hint of bitter sweet to the glass. Use gin in place of bourbon according to your preference. Both make Twisted Sister with Campari a treat.
