Going on a birthday pub crawl brought me out to the Rockford area, and another opportunity to try & find the allusive perfect Bloody Mary. While I didn't find perfection at any of the four bars we hit that night, one of the night's highlights was found at R.B.I.'s Bar & Grill.
Wanting to take advantage of beautiful weather, after ordering our cocktails, I went out back to the patio to grab some space for the group. At this point I wasn't expecting too much from the Bloody Mary, as I had seen my drink start being constructed with Zing Zang. As I was walking out back though, I noticed the bartender pouring in a splash of Guinness, so I was hoping she might knew a thing or two about jazzing up a pre-made mix....
Sitting at one of the the umbrella covered tables, my Bloody Mary is brought to me, and I quickly take a large swig. Surprisingly it was quite tasty, and had a good mix of heat & spice. The three hearty green olives where a nice touch, but it could use a garnish upgrade with a little more variety. I passed the cocktail to a couple of the others, and they echoed my same sentiments.
On a side note: We also tried the wings that they had on special, ($0.35 each) and they were quite good. It also helped that the talent they had working at the place was quite attractive. (the hot waitress with the pierced hand could serve me drinks any day!)
