[title]What makes a great Bloody Mary? Is it the spice? The garnish? A little hair of the dog? Time Out Market Boston set out to find the answer at its recent Bloody Mary Contest where local booze bosses shook, stirred and served up their takes on the classic brunch cocktail. Guests took on the task of sipping and sampling 14 different variations and cast their votes for their favorite, but only one Bloody reigned supreme.
The winner? Drumroll, please…
…Broadway Restaurant Group’s Bloody Mary perfected by BRG’s Culinary Director, Chef Nick Dixon!
“I came up with this recipe at a time when our brunch service was booming and I knew we needed a standout Bloody Mary—so I got creative,” said Chef Nick Dixon. “I wanted to craft a Bloody Mary that was fresh, flavorful and full-bodied.”
His secret? Fresh celery, Grillo’s pickles, a healthy helping of horseradish, a carefully curated combination of spices and, of course, ripe California tomatoes.
