In all my travels, I’ve never found anywhere that makes a bloody mary as good as a typical Wisconsin townie dive bar. Since moving back to the DC area, I’ve been consistently disappointed in the bloodies. So for Easter brunch during the apocalypse, I took matters into my own hands. I added a little Maryland flair with an Old Bay rim.

I forgot to include the fancy Dietz & Watson pickles in this pic, oh well.

It’s also both my sister and my wife’s sis ter’s birthday today, so...

I haven’t taken a drink in 30 years, but it looks like you’ve taken matters seriously here.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Doesn’t an “authentic Wisconsin Bloody Mary” replace the stick of celery with a bratwurst?

Where’s the cheeseburger on a stick?

No, celery is an essential garnish. Many Wisconsin bars add things like jerky stick, cheese curds, or sometimes even pickled eggs, but never in lieu of celery. T his is a basic standard WI bloody, with a couple tweaks. Gotta have the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce & horseradish, with celery, pickle, olives, a canned/pickled mushroom, and at least one lime and/or lemon wedge. I use (Food Lion knockoff) V8 juice instead of tomato juice for a lil extra flavor and the Old Bay rim for the kicker.

Man, I cant deal with Bloody Mary’s. I’ve tried it several times, first time while on travels in NYC, I cant even remember the bar, but I do know they had a happy hour with Bloody Mary’s and some other drink I cant remember the name of. I started off with a Bloody Mary and didn’t finish it. I did down a couple of the other drinks (it was champagne mixed with orange juice or something, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about).

Edit: Mimosa's, damnit!

If it’s great in Wisconsin, then that can only mean one thing. That it’s slightly better in Minnesota.

(kidding, sorta)

The problem is you never had a bloody in Wisconsin, duh. (Or made by someone who used to live there, like me.)

Horseradish. Well done.

I would add a salami  stick, too, but I know that's not your thing.  Looks fantastic!

My favorite bloody mary is from Catalina island from the bar at The Isthmus. Been going there for years and it is the best I’ve ever had.

Little do you know, this is because downtown Madison, WI is on an isthmus between lakes Mendota and Monona.

I see nothing on this chart relevant to quality of bloody marys.

Must be an isthmus thing then.

Mmmmmm, Michelada. I could so go for a good one right now, as I fire up the grill.

Unfortunately I don’t have any beer right now.

In a Wisconsin bloody the beer is on the side.

Aren’t you supposed to have cheese and pepperoni in it.
