Bloody Elixir

This drink gets its name from Elixir, a neighborhood saloon in San Francisco whose owner, H. Joseph Ehrmann, specializes in hand-crafted cocktails. While this Mary was born on the West Coast, we think it should be the Chesapeake region’s Bloody mascot. To get the spicy flavors just right, be sure to rim the glass with Old Bay Seasoning and don’t leave out the Elixir Juice and dried dill or you won’t truly experience Bloody nirvana. For a more Chesapeake-style garnish, stab a freshly fried oyster, lemon wedge, and dill pickle onto a wooden skewer.
