It's Sunday morning, you overdid it last night, and you're craving brunch and a bloody mary. Luckily, there are tons of terrific bloodies around town to get you back in order, with some tasty brunch dishes offered alongside. Here are six of our favorites, from mixology masterpieces to build-your-own creations.
Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
Miami Beach
Prefer your bloody with a side of comfort food? Then head down to Miami Beach's award-winning Southern kitchen for fried green tomatoes, fried chicken and waffles and a perfectly blended spicy bloody mary. It's served in a mason jar, of course. But in leiu of vodka, Yardbird mixes in bacon-infused bourbon and tops it off with more bacon, a pickled green bean, a slice of pickled okra and an olive.
Greenstreet Cafe
Coconut Grove
Coconut Grove's premier place to see and be seen serves a mean bloody mary. There's the traditional Greenstreet Mary (with a base of Absolut Peppar), or spice things up with a Organic Green Mary Martini (combining green and red tomato juice) the Bloody Maria (with Jose Cuervo tequila, mint, jalapeño and lime juice) or Bloody Martini (boasting cucumber vodka). Grab a red velvet sofa out front for you and a friend (human or canine), pick your poison ($11 each) and people-watch the day away.
Big Pink
South Beach
If a spicy bloody mary in a hot pink diner doesn't bring you back to life, who knows what will. Big Pink's crowd-pleasing version is served in a tall, spicy salt-rimmed glass and jam-packed with olives, celery and a lemon slice.
Pawn Broker
Downtown
No one makes a better bloody than you, eh? Then take a trip to this rooftop lounge's boozy Sunday brunch. In addition to guest DJ and plenty of flavorful bites (think donuts, pork belly sliders and a raw bar) the party features a make-your-own bloody mary cart ($14) with Kettle One and all the fixings. Or, just relax and choose one of Pawn Broker's bloody mary cocktails.
Tap 42
Coral Gables
When you're ready to go all in, Tap42 has you covered. For $20, they'll keep your glass full until 3pm. You'll probably want something from the gastropub's well-rounded menu to help out with that plan, though.
Lulu
Coconut Grove
This buzzy brunch spot is well known for its spicy Wake n' Bacon Bloody Mary, made with bacon-infused vodka ($12) and topped with not one but two crispy bacon slices. The Cool ’N Spicy ($12), mixed with cucumber-infused vodka, is also well worth a shot.
