So, I pretty much made you the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever made with your own individual snack right on top to accompany it.
I’ll wait for you to pick your jaws up off of the floor…
When I was in Prague, I went to this AMAZING cocktail bar called AnonymouS Shrink’s Office (which I’ll spill more about once I post all the details of Prague!) and they served up one of the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve ever tasted, in one of the most unique bars in the city.
The Bloody Mary was rich and decadent, and it came with the BEST garnish ever.
No, it wasn’t one of those insane ones with burgers or doughnuts or whatever the heck people are piling on top of Bloody Mary’s all around the world. Instead it was a perfectly portioned amount of tortilla chips with cheese on top.
It seemed a little strange to me when it was sat down in front of me, but I’m never one to turn away a great drink and nachos soooooo I dove in.
The salty crunchy chips and melted cheese with each sip of the Bloody Mary completely enhanced the cocktail. It added a whole new level of flavor that nothing else behind the bar could have added.
I thought about that cocktail for the rest of the time we were in Europe and kept making notes about how I would make changes to it to make it even more my speed (i.e. a little more spice, a little more cheese…).
So here it is… A little bit of the Prague cocktail scene is now stateside!
You won’t believe how many layers of flavor and texture are in this cocktail. The rich homemade Bloody Mary mix is sultry, spicy, and full of complex flavors. I love to use chile vodka in this Bloody Mary for an extra spicy kick but you can also use regular vodka OR if you like smoky heat, use mezcal instead. You can even make your own homemade clamato juice to create this recipe!
The loaded nachos on top provide an added texture and flavor element that no liquid could bring to make this combination of tastes.
Whether you are serving this up for a knockout brunch, tailgating before a morning game, or simply getting a happy hour fix with a snack on the side, everyone and anyone who loves Bloody Marys is going to FLIP over this drink.
Cheers, my friends!
