This Bloody Mary with Korean Style Candied Bacon is a unique and inspired cocktail, guaranteed to bring people together.
Togetherness. That is what the holidays are all about. This is the time of year when we make a conscious effort to gather those closest to us and celebrate. And what better way to enjoy the season than with a cocktail? With the help of our friends at Powell & Mahoney, we have crafted a unique Bloody Mary with Korean Style Candied Bacon that is perfectly suited for holiday parties, brunches, and family gatherings. Made with Powell & Mahoney Classic Bloody Mary Mixer, this gourmet cocktail takes the guesswork out of mixing and allows for more time to enjoy the company of friends and family.
As much as we look forward to the traditional Thanksgiving feast, there is usually a moment afterwards when we are somewhat glad that it is over. That moment usually hits around halftime of the football game. The dishes are done, the kitchen is clean, and the living room is full of lounging bodies, some half asleep and some wide awake and craving a snack. This, in our opinion, is the perfect time for a cocktail.
Never satisfied with a traditional recipe of any sort, Keith created a Korean style candied bacon to add a pop of flavor to a classic bloody Mary. Having made this ahead of time, we were easily able to assemble this delicious craft cocktail in minutes, using Powell & Mahoney Classic Bloody Mary Mixer. And there was no guilt involved, because these mixers are made with quality, natural ingredients batched in small kettles. As a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or a brunch cocktail to impress party guests, this Bloody Mary with Korean Style Candied Bacon is a great way to bring people together. Cheers!
