We’re celebrating everybody’s favorite brunch cocktail, the bloody Mary, with recipes for the Classic, as well as some sweet and savory spins. Brian Bartels, author of the book, The Bloody Mary, shares recipes for a Barbecue Bloody Mary and the wild PB&J Bloody Mary. Inspired, Faith creates a Puttanesca Bloody Mary with a spicy vodka from Waypoint Spirits in Bloomfield, CT. And Alex Province pours a rich white rhone, a $14 Clos des Lumières L’eclat that we fell in love with. Plus, one of our favorite farmers and cooks, Susie Middleton (formerly of CT), shares recipes from her cookbook, Simple Green Suppers.
Aired: May 21, 2020 (Segments of the show originally aired on March 13, 2017 and May 4, 2017 and were remixed)
