Top-Notch Alcoholic Soup
Sights: That gnarled hunk of meat on the top is bacon. Rickey’s not sure what else you need to know.
Smells: Bacon.
Tastes: There is a reason that this Bloody Mary gets top marks from Rickey. It has Mystery Sauce:
Tastes (cont): Rickey did a quick Google search and learned that Berbere Spice hails from Ethiopia. It contains such delights as cumin, allspice berries, black peppercorns, paprika, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and nutmeg. And you know what? It WORKS. This magical marinade gives the bloody tons of dimension, which is generally lacking with your run-of-the-mill booze soup. It’s all deep, warm spice (mostly cumin) coupled with a slight sweetness from the cinnamon and nutmeg. And if that’s not enough for you, there is also bacon.
Feels: Thick n’ chunky? There’s really no appetizing way to describe the mouthfeel of a Bloody Mary.
Rick’s Tricks: This one’s off-menu, so you have to ask for it. And if you don’t want meat, they won’t force you to get the bacon.
Also, Rickey thinks Steve, the bartender, is an absolute doll.
Overall: Get lost in the sauce! This might be the best Bloody Mary on property, especially if you like it a bit weird. You know Rickey always does.
