The Bloody Mary bar at Saxon +?Parole
Sure, on the first day of 2012, you might wake up and wonder where the night went — but, hey, that’s what resolutions are for. Until you can get those resolutions rolling, why not make yourself feel a little bit better by making yourself the ultimate Bloody Mary?
The bar manager of the new NYC hot spot Saxon + Parole, Naren Young, has some ideas for improving your spicy home brew. Young’s No. 1 tip? Use fresh vegetable juices as your base instead of pre-packaged tomato juice. “We only use freshly squeezed tomato, carrot and celery juices for our Bloodys,”?he says. “This makes it very light, fresh and fragrant.”
Here are a couple more tips from Young on making the ultimate Bloody Mary.
You don’t have to stick with vodka: Don’t be afraid of variety. Saxon + Parole’s Bloody Mary selection features gin, tequila, aquavit and white whiskey.
Citrus and spice: A Bloody can’t be fresh tomato juice alone. “They also need some sort of spice,” he notes. “That can be anything from crushed chillies to Sriracha to hot sauce.”
Mix it up
