New Jersey Bar Challenge, We Need To Up Your Bloody Mary Game

New Jersey can usually do no wrong in my eyes.  I love it here.  I had to move all around the country for my radio career and I always longed to come back home.  I'm here and all is right with the world, but I did realize something during my travels.  New Jersey needs to up their bloody mary game.

One of the stops on my life journey was in the Twin Cities.  My family and I were there for the best part of 7 years.  During that time, there was pretty much one thing I wanted to bring with me when I left and that was their epic bloody mary.  I got so used to that "salad in a glass" Sunday brunch treat that when I came home I've been searching for an equivalent and it does not exist. Just wait until you feast your eyes on this monster.  I introduce to you, The Weekender.

Now THAT is a bloody mary.  Imagine going from this work of art to getting a can of Clamato with a shot in a glass.  Not only is this puppy loaded with ingredients, but it also comes with a sidecar of beer.

You need the tomato juice and vodka, and most people get that much, but what about the celery, hot peppers, olives, onion, dill pickle spear, cheese cubes, shrimp skewer, spicy beef stick, and extra crisp bacon?

This was a life-changing week-ending treat that I'm gonna need to be started here.  Are you with me?  Can we have a bloody mary revolution?  I'm asking for a friend, where is your favorite bloody?  Is there anyone who comes close to this blast in a glass?  Email me if there is Shannon.holly@townsquaremedia.com.

If you are a bar owner, I formally challenge you to create your own version and tell the Jersey Shore Morning Show.  Lou and I will gladly come to your location, and sample what you've got, and trust me, we will yell it from the mountain top.  We are desperate for this so let's see whatcha got!

Here are the signature cocktails for each state.
