Bloody Swine Bloody Mary at Nage

It’s science - nothing kills a hangover like a pile of greasy bacon and a tall Bloody Mary. And Nage in Scott Circle is perfectly aware of this fact. That’s why they created the Bloody Swine Bloody Mary – an intriguing blend of house-infused garden vodka, guajillo pepper Bloody Mary mix, and chopped bacon, served with celery and an Old Bay rim.

Sounds a tad indulgent, no? That’s kind of the point. The cocktail isn’t meant to be sipped on a Friday night – it’s only purpose is to give your hangover a stiff slap in the face. And believe it or not, it’s surprisingly palatable. Each sip sends tiny bits of bacon through the straw, which mingles well with Nage’s extra-spicy Mary mix.

Damage: $15 for a bottomless glass (only available for Sunday brunch).
