Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary suits someone looking for savory, spicy and tomato rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it fairly approachable. Compared with Apple Martini, it leans toward a different balance. The savory character remains noticeable into the finish rather than disappearing after the first sip. If you want to compare it, look next at Apple Martini; for food, the catalogue starts with Brunch and Oysters.
