Hair of the dog? Hungover? Sydney has the just the place to fix your ailment.
Shuffle down Victoria Road in Darlinghurst towards the bright and cheerful Bloody Mary’s, a bar dedicated to the Bloody Mary cocktail.
A 10 strong list of Bloody Marys awaits you with your choice of spirit, be it vodka, gin, tequila, rum, beer or wine. But don’t think this isn’t a watered down version masquerading as the real deal. These Mary’s pack quality spirits at generous pours starting at 45 ml and up to 60 ml.
Bloody Mary’s point of difference is in the house-made, freshly blended tomato juice that sets these Mary’s apart. After all, we’re drinking our veggies. Owner Cinta Rockey has put a lot of dedicated research and experimentation into this favourite brunch libation including travel to the US and the result is in the taste.
Start with the Classic Bloody Mary, vodka-based with a long rib of celery. Not enough kick for your hangover? Spice it up with your choice of Tabasco, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce or Hot Samoan Boys.
Work your way towards the Bloody Pirate with dark rum, orange and celery or Bloody Maria. Yes, you can taste that Don Julio Reposado in the background. The Bloody Cesar with Clamato juice is hot and spicy, and that slap on the face you need to wake up and if you’re still up for more, order the Bloody Hell with chilli-infused vodka. This is a Bloody Mary you can eat complete with a hot buffalo wing, a slider, a prawn and celery.
Hangovers needs sustenance and The Hangover Cure gets you spicy baked beans, crispy bacon, two poached eggs, chorizo and corned hash on toasted sourdough.
It may be time to start planning your next hangover.
