Sexy Charcuterie in a Glass, The Tower23 Bloody Mary at JRDN

The Tower23 bloody mary had a stunning presentation; glistening in the sunbeams on the oceanfront patio, It was almost too pretty to drink! JRDN infuses their vodka with jalapeños and cilantro. I personally love cilantro, it gives meals and drinks such a refreshing and floral taste, in the best way possible. The mix is made in-house with a mild flavor but has that last second kick from the jalapeño infusion and spices. The jalapeños gave the bloody a perfect amount of heat, making it drinkable for lovers of all spice-levels.

Next, a qualified assistant walks you through the bloody mary bar and builds it for you! Because one does not, “build your own”. You let your bloody mary assistant know how spicy you want it (there is a large array of hot sauces to choose from) on a scale of 1-10, she adds Worcestershire sauce and fresh lemon juice and then your journey begins. Courtney and I went in two different directions for our toppings. Courtney chose bacon, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, ham, and a few veggies. I went for a kosher salt rim, pepper, celery salt, chili powder, pickled carrots, cauliflower, and peppers.

Aloha, Honeymoon Bloody Marys at the Hyatt Regency, Maui

Sugar, spice, and everything nice, is the best way to describe this bloody! Sweet and tangy and a little on the thick side. I've heard they put brown sugar in their bloodys, but I wasn't able to confirm. The spice was more peppery than horseradish and the tabasco flavor was prevalent. The skewer had some scrumptious treats. A lime pin wheel, bacon, pepperoncini, olive, celery and an old bay rim seasoning. I was very thankful for the waiter who went out of his way to bring me this bloody, that’s 5-star service! The icing on the cake this breakfast was the scenery, waterfalls and swans wading in a pond, with the palm trees and the ocean as a backdrop!

Football, Pizza, Bloody Marys And A Romance In The Making

Good ole Old Chicago in EP (Eden Prairie) as they call it in Minnesota. The Sunday regular spot for me and my husband to watch my favorite sport.. FOOTBALL! You see when you are born and raised in Boston there is about a 99.9% chance that since conception you were being groomed to be a lover of all Boston sports. Of course, my generation worships the greatest team of all time; the New England Patriots. Living in Minnesota, they don’t like to play Patriots games on TV unless they are nationally televised, so we made Old Chicago our go-to for football games on Sundays. I actually consider it a place where our love blossomed in the early months. Pizza, football, Tom Brady, and bloody marys. Doesn’t get more romantic. I don’t think he was used to dating someone who was such a crazy football fan, I like to think its one of the things that made him fall in love with me. I’m like a cool wife ya know, I make my husband watch football with me on Sundays. Typically, I’m a very loving and nurturing person but I might put my husband on the couch for 2 weeks if he tried to ask me to do something lame like go to Home Depot during game-time, I mean who would do that? As the season progressed, so did our love.
