Take a sip of these Bloody Marys in West Hollywood

A garden in a glass. A breakfast in a tumbler. A classic; and yet always open to new interpretations. Yep, we are talking about that old hangover cure or best way to start the day––The Bloody Mary. From beef jerky rising out of one to another famed for a heavy dash of premium olive juice, there are plenty of outstanding variations around West Hollywood. We wouldn’t suggest trying them all in a day, but we would suggest attending at least one brunch while you’re with us … if only for the Bloody Mary.

Jones

Former Jones Hollywood Bar Manager Eric Tecosky developed the recipe here, using his own brand––Dirty Sue Premium Olive juice––to add a kick. “The Jones Bloody Mary is inspired by my love of New Orleans,” he says. “They make some of the best Bloody Mary’s in the world.” His begins with vodka infused with olives and cocktail onions, before adding the perfect house spice mix. The secret ingredient is that Dirty Sue Premium Olive Juice. “It gives it a bracing briny flavor that’ll cure what ails you,” says Tecosky.

Cecconi’s

Thick, leather and brass barstools, warm wood accents and pastas made by-hand make Cecconi’s a perfect choice when you want a hearty, warming, Italian comfort meal. They make a proper, traditional-leaning style of Mary, that begins with Grey Goose and includes thick tomato juice, spiked with Worcester sauce, horseradish, celery salt, lemon and lime juice, black pepper, and a splash of tabasco. It’s offered any time of day, but during brunch, it’s an ideal add-on to a big plate of porchetta eggs benedict.

The force is strong with this one––olive brine meeting horseradish, celery and bay-leaf-infused vodka, plus a delicious house tomato juice. Michael Cimarusti has two Michelin stars for his food at this New-England-inspired seafood house, and the menu for brunch matches this hangover helper excellently. It goes swimmingly with that delectable Peeky Toe Crab & Lobster omelet, with herb beurre blanc and grilled bread.
