Brunch requires a delicious drink and for me it often starts with a Bloody Mary. I was not a fan of tomato juice as a child, but for some reason by the time I turned 21, I started to love tomato juice - with vodka and a whole lot of other flavors. Here is my version of the famed brunch favorite. An over the top garnish is what makes the cocktail even better. How do you like to top off your Bloody? Enjoy your weekend brunch, cheers!
