Layered with bold flavors, this daytime sipper brings heat, umami, tangy tomato and the sweet, full flavor of Maker's Mark.  While there are countless wild stories – ranging from Queens to movie stars – about where the name "Bloody Mary" comes from, we favor bourbon over vodka in ours. Spicy and savory, this satisfying riff on the Bloody Mary features a feast of ingredients that gives this cocktail well-rounded flavor with a bold Maker's boost.
