While the Bloody Mary is a brunch staple, the recipe (thankfully!) is completely open to interpretation.

Five unique Bloody Mary recipes will make a one-time-only appearance at Brunch-a-Palooza on June 3rd, 2017.  Each will feature a local craft-distilled vodka, and a few will stretch beyond the typical tomato juice base.

The Bugs Bloody (as you may have guessed) uses earthy carrot and celery juice, in addition to a little tomato juice as a thickener.  The recipe is simple, but the result is striking and is not at all what you've come to expect from a Bloody.  Expect a fresh, garden-y taste without the acid tang that comes with tomato juice.

And, as always, feel free to experiment with your Bloody garnishes!

Recipe:

• 1 oz dill infused Tattersall vodka 
• 2 oz carrot juice
• 1 oz tomato juice
• 1 oz celery juice
• 1/8 tsp ground ginger
• 1/8 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions:

Build this one in a Collins glass.  Stir all ingredients together.  Pour into the glass, over ice.  Garnish with watermelon radish shaving.
