A few times since we started this Bloody Mary awareness campaign (or blog- whatever) I have been in some bars and thought, “Yuck, This is SO not the place for a Bloody but I’ll try one for the good of the people.” So I ordered them in these places, hoping for the best but truly expecting the watery, tomato-soupy, worst. Surprisingly, I came across a few totally drinkable, solid, three-star Bloodies. And the pattern that I’m finding in these lovely surprises is this: the ones that have been drinkable have all been made with Zing Zang mix. I know, I know, I’m not a big ready made mix girl myself- but ask yourself: decent bloody in a surprising bar, or total avoidance? In this case- I choose the mix! So next time you’re not sure- just see if they use Zing Zang- I bet you won’t be sorry.
(P.S. Zing Zang is made in Milwaukee- just sayin…)
