Beer Bloody Mary
Ah, the Bloody Mary: an essential element of any brunch, but so often disappointing. Our beer Bloody Mary, on the other hand, will never let you down. It’s like a cross between a Michelada and a regular Bloody Mary—the addition of a pale lager makes it ultra-refreshing (and even more flavorful).
You can technically use any beer in this cocktail, but our preference is a pale lager. It’s thirst-quenching without being bland and won’t overwhelm the other flavors in the drink. Try a few brands to find your favorite (such as Heineken, Modelo Especial or Corona).
