My second attempt at getting a Bloody Mary at the Red Ox was a success, and thankfully, it was worth the wait. Wanting to enjoy the good weather before it's gone for the rest of the year, my sister & I took advantage of the big back patio that we had virtually to ourselves, except for a cute elderly couple that turned out to be celebrating a big win at an OTB earlier in the day.

When our Bloody Marys arrived, the waiter brought with him a huge bottle of Tabasco sauce, which was a nice touch. This, as well as the nice amount of garnish overflowing from the top of the glass, had me licking my lips with anticipation....


Speaking of the garnish, the olive, pickle, lime slice & celery stalk was definitely adequate, and the nice deep color of the cocktail made the complete package a very attractive picture. After taking a huge swig, it turned out look matched the taste. With enough good spice mixed in the drink, it wasn't even necessary to add heat from the bottle. I would have no problem ordering another one of these in the future.
