Bacon Bloody Mary Photo Roundup

Yesterday the Chicago Menupages blog published this incredible gallery of bacon Bloody Marys from across the country. I first heard of the brunch concoction when researching the much buzzed-about Chicago restaurant Sepia, and it's one of their most popular creations. However, this photos prove that great minds think alike, or at least that restaurateurs know a good idea when they see one, especially when pork is involved.

The photos in the MP blog include bacon Bloody Marys in DC, Brooklyn, Boston, and Milwaukee, though there's no way of telling whether or not these drinks are made with bacon-infused vodka like the Sepia original, or if they just have a strip of bacon thrown in as an afterthought. Either way, looks like people are catching on that a smoky meatiness is the perfect addition to the spicy tomato cocktail. And no need to worry if Bloody Marys aren't your thing. Inventive cocktail joints around the country have been experimenting with meat-infused liquors and bacon martinis for awhile now. [Chicago MenuPages]
