Bloody Mary Continue

I have had 3 Bloody Mary's since the last post. 


This first one was from Sam's Tavern. The only reason why I wanted to go here was because  I wanted to try their Bloody Mary that comes with a slider. I know sounds a bit too much, but I'm always down to try something that extravagant. Unfortunately, I went there on a late night and there were a lot of people. And when I ordered , the bartender looked at me like foreal, you want the one with a slider  and 2? So I said no just regular. I did ask myself really? I'm ordering a Bloody Mary at 10pm while everyone was drinking beer? This one was just okay.  There was a lot of stuff in there that I had to chew. Don't know exactly what I was chewing. Possibly bacon bits? But it didn't stand out that much to me. Maybe I need to go back and get the slider. 



The next palace I went to was at 5 Spot. A breakfast spot near my place. I went there with my friend who came to visit from the bay. This one was pretty good. Simple. I think this one had a kick to it. And I love celery! 


Last but not least, Local 360. I've wanted to try this place for a while and finally did. However, this was the longest brunch ever. We got there at 1130 and ended at 2. It was pretty pack, but I don't know why it was super slow. All we did was wait and wait and wait. And! I didn't even get to try what I originally wanted because they ran out! But overall I thought that place was pretty good. As for the Bloody Mary, I thought it was really good. It had this smokey flavor, well at least that's what I thought it tasted like. Like smokey bacon? And get this, he recommended this pepper vodka and then comes back saying they ran out! I'm surprised that I had a lot patience. I definitely need to go back and try everything that I couldn't try because they ran out! Story of Local 360, we ran out. 


The next Bloody Mary that I am looking for is one that has the good stuff on the rim that's not salt. I would also like to go back to Tap House and try their Bloody Mary, since I that was my favorite to begin with. I definitely need to try The Metropolitan Grills Bloody Mary, just because I work there. 

Note: I love pickled vegetables!! That's a plus in a Bloody Mary for me!

Bloody Mary

It's been a very long time since I've posted something. I don't even know if anyone reads or comes across my blog, but I'm going to try and start posting again.

So lately I have been in love with bloody marys. I have been going around Seattle trying different bloody marys and trying to find the best one. At first, the one that I liked the most was from Tap House. I thought it was the best because of how flavorful it was and how spicy it was. That's what made me like it so much. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of it.

One place that I like going to is located in Capitol Hill called Manhattans. It is probably at the top of my list right now. I've been there twice so I was able to enjoy two different bloody marys. The first time I went I had a bloody mary with gin. I like gin, especially in my dirty martini. But at Manhattans, for brunch, they have different kinds of bloody marys. The picture down below is not the one I had. The one in the picture is a bloody mary with whiskey. It's totally different. I liked it, but I don't prefer it. It had a bacon in it which is why I took the picture.


The second time I went to Manhattans I had to get the Bonnie because I saw it the first time I went there. It's pricey, but totally worth it if your into bloody marys. This one was ultimately insane looking. It's so good and I think it's at the top of my list. If it could have been a little bit more spicy, it would be even better. 



So the next place I liked was from Rock Creek in Fremont. It was pretty good. The only reason why I liked it was because it came with an oyster and a prawn. Overall, really good.


The last bloody mary I had was a Duos Lounge in West Seattle. It was just okay. It was just a regular bloody mary. Nothing really stood out to me. Now that I look at this picture it looks a little watered down, but I don't really remember if it tasted that way. Probably. 


So these are the only bloody marys that I took pictures of only because I wanted to or remembered to. I'm going to start taking pictures of all the bloody marys I try so that I can post about it.

There are other places I've been to and had their bloody marys. I've tried the one at Boka in downtown Seattle, that ones okay. I tried the bloody mary at Salty's on Alki, also okay. One place I tried that was not bad was at Roxy's Diner. Then the one at Hunger in Fremont was okay, but I liked the salted rim they had, that was really good. I think those are the ones that I've tried without a picture so maybe there's a reason why, because it was just okay. But regardless, I'm going to take a picture from now on.

The reason why I love bloody marys so much is because I like the saltiness and the pickled vegetables! Oh yeah and the alcohol of course!! Now I can't wait to get a bloody mary! Where will my next bloody mary be at?
