BLOODY MARYS

  1. THE TRAIN WRECK BAR

    A top-notch Bloody Mary to begin with, but then you add the garnishes, and pow! It becomes a big, crazy, delicious drink you can’t get anywhere else. It’s loaded with carrot; celery; green onion, sweet cherry peppers and pepperoncini; a skewer of sausage meatballs; a skewer of two ham, egg and cheese sandwiches on homemade biscuits; a skewer of bacon-wrapped potatoes; a skewer of salami and cheese; a skewer of bleu cheese stuffed olives. Better bring a friend. And a fork.

  5. THE WHEEL HOUSE

    In Anacortes, kick-start your weekend with a spicy Bloody Mary. The Wheel House uses Demitri’s All Natural Bloody Mary Seasoning, which is a bit spicy to begin with, plus a dash or two of Tabasco sauce. This drink has bite, but not enough that you won’t order another.
