The cocktail: Bloody Mary

The Ingredients: Verita vodka, Miss Sydneys Bloody Mary mix, and a little pepperoncini brine.

The inspiration: Chef Noah Frese’s $325 burger caused a massive stir this summer for its wagyu burger, caviar, tator tots + gold-leaf bun. So we had to ask at Noah’s Italian bar manager Olivia Savas about the inspiration behind their new gargantuan brunch Bloody Mary for two.
“Well, Noah wanted a large format Bloody Mary for brunch that people would take pictures of… and I told him say no more!” - OS

The build? “It’s our signature Bloody Mary with Verita vodka garnished with a chicken cutlet, fried spaghetti, vodka sauce, Caesar salad skewer, Caprese skewer, blue cheese olives, a lemon wedge, and balsamic caviar pearls! The price is $75, but it serves 2 to 4 people.”
