Brewers Bloody Mary

By Ben Wietmarschen, @benwietmarschen

OK, first of all, a “Milwaukee Brewers Bloody Mary” should be a beer.

BUT, I guess that would create some confusion for when Brewers fans order a bloody mary or a beer. So, with that caveat, I present probably the most artfully put together bunch of every food that I love stacked on top of an alcoholic drink:

“WAITER! THERE IS A CHEESEBURGER IN MY DRINK. I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT I WAS JUST SURPRISED SO I HAD TO YELL IT! THANKS!”

Also, is that a big old strip of hickory smoked bacon in A BAG OF POPCORN?! Please don’t tell me why it’s there, just shove it in my face and look away while I GET GREASY!

The drink was a special at a bar called O'Davey's Pub in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, for the month of April, in honor of the Brewers Opening Day. Since O’Davey’s has covered all of the food items I’d like in my adult beverage, there’s no way to improve in that category, so the next step is putting other things I love in their drinks that are non-food items. Here’s a list!

- A small computer streaming Netflix’d ‘Cheers’ episodes projected onto my White Russian.

- A small beer on a stick garnishing a giant beer.

- This song playing every time I take a sip of a lime Margarita (on the rocks and, yes, salt please).

-The warmth of my family’s love at the bottom of a shot of whiskey.

-An end to the never ending stream of anxiety and self consciousness that is inevitable in this world on top of the olive in my dirty martini.
