Made In Michigan: Check Out These Gigantic Bloody Marys

Recently I took a trip down to Austin and hung out with my good friends Dom and Chad. We had a Sunday Funday with plenty to eat and drink. When it comes to booze they both swear by a big old bloody mary.

What's In A Bloody Mary

A typical Bloody Mary is a classic cocktail known for its savory and spicy flavors.

The basic ingredients for a Bloody Mary include Vodka, Tomato Juice, Lemon Juice, Worcestershire Sauce, Hot Sauce, Celery Salt, Black Pepper and Garnishes.

I've tried to drink a bloody mary several times in my life and regardless of if it was made at a bar or a friend's house, they were never really my thing. While I don't like the taste, I do love all the little snacks that sometimes come stacked on top of a bloody mary.

I recently saw the article "Michigan’s Top 5 Outrageous Bloody Marys For Your Enjoyment" from Shannon Renee at 105.1 The Bounce in Detroit, highlighting some of the best that you can get on the east side of the state. I'm still not interested in drinking a bloody mary because I'm just not a fan of the vodka/tomato juice combo in my mouth, but with the outrageous amount of garnishes that come on top of them it certainly piqued my interest and my appetite.

If you're looking for a bloody mary that stands out from the rest these are some of the most outrageous ones you can enjoy right here in Michigan. I've also shared some of the best places to enjoy a bloody mary in West Michigan.
