Duck Dive



Duck Dive, Pacific Beach, CA
Duck Dive only has one bloody mary
during the week so we had their
"Dive Bloody" But they do have
a bloody mary bar on Sunday's!


Absolut Vodka, Guinness, Green Tobasco,
Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice, Ballast
Point Bloody Mary Mix
Garnished with bacon and
cheese stuffed peppers/olives. 


The garnishes were the best thing
about this mary. It's too watery 
and not spicy at all. Texture 
needs to be much thicker. And
was there even booze in there>?



Spicy- 4 (out of 10)
Price- $8 
Originality- 3 (out of 10)

We'll go back to check out their bloody 
mary bar on Sundays but as far 
as their house bloody goes, THUMBS DOWN

Homemade Green Bloody Mary


Homemade, Semi-Raw Green Bloody Mary

So we decided, not all tomatoes are red so why can't
we make a green one using tomatillos! 
Recipe=
Yield- 6 (16oz) Bloody's 
2 lbs Tomatillos 
2 Garlic Cloves 
1 English Cucumber
1 med Jalapeno 
1 bunch Celery
1/2 white Onion
1 inch cubed Ginger
1 green Bell Pepper
1 cup fresh Lime Juice
1 cup Water
Salt + Pepper to taste

Blend them all together then strain the juice out
(Can use a juicer)

We then added 
1.5 ounces Vodka
 Teaspoon of  Horseradish
3 dashes of Habanero hot sauce
(or any other green hot sauce)
3 dashes of Worcestershire
Teaspoon of good dijon mustard 

Garnished simply with a 
Stick of Celery 
and a Lime Slice





We loved how it turned out!
It was basically like a green juice with alcohol.
Made us feel "Healthy"
My friend hates Bloody Mary's and loved these! 
Super Refreshing and a must make again.

Great Maple


Great Maple, San Diego, CA
This is the first place you guys requested 
for us to go try, and here we are,
 getting buzzed trying 4 of them!



Jr Mary
Basil Vodka, Muddled Basil 
Tomato juice and Red wine.
This was more of a fancy wine cocktail 
rather than a BM. It has a feminine aroma. 
I don't know if you like red wine in the morning
but we don't, tastes like a sauce that should 
be served over chicken. 


One Armed Mary 
Standard Bloody Mary ingredients, rimed 
with salt and pepper but garnished with a 
spicy grilled octopus tentacle 
that actually tastes pretty good. 


Johnny's Hangover Mary
20oz Mary served with french 
bread with chorizo and melted cheese. 
We went big today trying this one. 
We really loved it, just enough spices
and horseradish. This was our favorite!
The bread on top was delicious, barely 
needed our breakfast afterwards. 



Roman Mary 
This may look like a normal 
bloody mary, but it smells like the ocean. 
We found floating anchovies at the bottom of 
the glass. Surprisingly, it tasted like 
a caesar saladThis one wasn't spicy
 at all yet had a great tang.

Bier Garden


Bier Garden, Encinitas, CA
First BM we had was their Classic Bloody
It was made with infused horseradish vodka 
garnished with the typical fixes. Served in a 
16oz mason jar AND you get a free 3oz craft
beer of your choice. Pretty awesome! 


The second one we had was the Spicy BM. 
It was made with habanero and serrano 
infused TEQUILA. Thats right folks, this 
is a tequila BM. I couldn't taste the heat 
because all I could taste was that tequila. 
If you like your tequila, definitely try this one!

 the happy hour weekend am from 9-2

Stoli jalapeno vodka, and a maple bacon slice!
