Longman & Eagle Bloody Mary Mix
Recipe by Longman & Eagle
Vodka and a celery stalk? Not in this Bloody Mary. You can do the ubiquitous breakfast cocktail a zillion ways, but the best we’ve seen comes from Chicago bar and inn Longman & Eagle, whose zingy, briny version gets its smoothness from a secret ingredient: oatmeal stout. We suggest serving it with the biggest skewer you can handle and, like the bar does, a sidecar of Old Style.

Ingredients:
- 16 ounces McAuslin St. Ambroise oatmeal stout
