I'm now entering the great lockdown-era cocktail experiment pics from my "other place" data download. This is by far the tastiest Bloody Mary ever. We cribbed it while in NOLA in 2018. The secret is the Cajun Bait seasoning and Truff hot sauce.

10 years ago at Nobu by Petco Park during a Padres game. Place was empty, so the Sushi chef made me custom roll after custom roll with very pricey Sake and drained my bank account. I then stumbled over to "Drunkin Donuts" and washed all that pretension down with bourbon donut holes. Yes. I did.
