The Bloody Mary has to be one of the most versatile cocktails out there – but very few people have the audacity to alter it much from its vodka roots.

On occasion am not averse to a “slopped together” Bloody Mary. In some instances, like pre-boarding at the Denver International Airport after a liver-pounding weekend at the Great American Beer Festival, a ghettofabulous Bloody served at a terminal chain restaurant/pub can suit me just fine (and again back to my “get the job done” roots).
