…to Cure what Ails You
Legend has it that the Bloody Mary is a popular hangover cure because the tomato juice and vegetables settle your tummy, the salt rebalances your electrolytes, and the booze serves as the “hair of the dog.” As there’s usually a lot of imbibing on New Year’s Eve, January 1 is considered Bloody Mary Day. Here are some Annapolis favorites:
Miss Shirley’s Café in Annapolis offers the Spicy Shirley at brunch daily, so you can celebrate when you wish. The Spicy Shirley is Three Olives Vodka, garnished with celery, green tomato slice, green olive, lemon & lime wedge, peppadew, bourbon-infused pickled okra & jalapeño slice, with an Old Bay rim. Try pairing it with Bloody Mary Deviled eggs.
Open daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
