Classic & Wild Bloody Mary Cocktails, Plus Food Haven

It’s a Bloody Mary Party! We’re celebrating everybody’s favorite brunch cocktail with recipes for the Classic Bloody Mary, as well as some sweet and savory spins. Brian Bartels, author of the new 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. Alex Province pours a rich white rhone, a $14 Clos des Lumières L’eclat that we fell in love with. And, we’ve got news about two must-see documentaries. Faith hosts a documentary about the life of Carla Squatrito for CPTV, and Jim O’Connor joins us in the studio to talk about his documentary, Food Haven. Food Haven, a passion project, highlights the restaurants, restaurateurs, farmers’ markets, food trucks, and artisans that make New Haven such a great place to live, work, and eat.
