“This was an experiment to create a savory milk punch. I liked the idea of creating a minimalist Bloody Mary as an antidote to the excessively garnished Instagram drinks that modern Bloody Marys’ have become. It’s also a bit of a visual trick: This thing looks nothing like a Bloody Mary, but tastes exactly like one.”
