Bourbon Bacon Bloody Mary

Bourbon Bacon Bloody Mary

A Bloody Mary is already the ultimate savory brunch cocktail, but this version takes those bold flavors one step further. Inspired by Olivelle’s Bourbon Bacon Bloody Mary, we’ve added our own Browns Kitchen twist by replacing half of the Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic with Sun-Dried Tomato Balsamic.

The combination adds an extra layer of rich, savory tomato flavor while keeping the smoky sweetness that makes the original recipe so good. Finished with all your favorite Bloody Mary garnishes, it’s a fun upgrade to the classic that’s perfect for brunch, game day, or whenever you’re craving a cocktail with a little more personality.
