A unique take on the brunch classic.

To design a Bloody Mary with a truly unique flavor, James Beard award-winning bar Maison Premiere adds a secret ingredient to its mix, as detailed in the bar’s book The Maison Premiere Almanac. Their Bloody Mary features a vegetable purée base with depth and texture and the spice and savory notes from Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, horseradish, and Tabasco sauce. But the addition of oyster stout—a stout brewed with oyster shells—is what gives the cocktail its mouth-watering salinity.

Ingredients

3 hard dashes of Tabasco sauce
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. oyster stout
1 1/2 oz. vodka
5 oz. bloody Mary mix
