Bloody Mary Enthusiast Vol. 3

Welcome to the Holiday Issue of Bloody Mary Enthusiast magazine! The bloody marys featured herein are festive, bright, and perfectly made to brighten your holiday season. 

Liz McCray takes you through the best gifts for the bloody mary enthusiast in your life, while Jason Pirock plays up some holiday spirit with recipes for rosemary infused cocktails, prosciutto wrapped figs, and a bloody mary themed cheese ball. This issue also spotlights The Garage Bar and Bowl in Waconia, Minnesota, which recently broke the world record for the Largest Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar, and LAVA Craft Cocktail Co., an Orange County based company known for their upscale bloody mary mix made with Italian San Marzano tomatoes. Our person spotlight is Ashley Miller, known for her innovative creations made with top quality ingredients, and finally Greg Tooke gives his sage advice on how to survive the holidays. 

As always, I have deep gratitude for all the contributors to this magazine. They are not only deeply knowledgeable about this industry, but are also truly committed to it’s well-being and growth. During this holiday season, I invite all of you to cheers (probably virtually) to the amazing bloody mary community that we are fortunate to be a part of.
