May 2014 brought us back to the Adirondacks for Memorial Day, this time hoping for better weather than 2013. It was slightly better. We still got rained on but really only for a day and a half instead of 3, and the temperatures were better. No snow, and we didn\u2019t have to venture into Lake Placid to buy pants and gloves.<\/p>\n

But we did still have to venture in to go back to the Breakfast Club for a Bloody Mary again. I had to see if it lived up to the memory of \u201cbest ever\u201d<\/p>\n

\"tbcmenu\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They had the same menu of Bloody Marys as last year and I ordered the Fire Mary with bacon vodka again – \u201chouse made recipe spiced up with red Tabasco, sriracha and green Tabasco\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"tbc1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Still served in the mason jar for $7, this time the bacon garnish was not served in a crisped up slice, but folded up and speared between olives. Not my ideal piece of bacon, as I prefer them to be super crispy well done but it\u2019s still bacon. The Bloody was also garnished with celery, lemon and lime, the 2 olives and had a salt rim. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s still the best Bloody ever. It has a smoky flavor, a great spice level from the tabasco and sriracha, and a nice liquidity. You\u2019re not drinking ketchup, and it\u2019s not tomato water. A+<\/p>\n

We visited 2 other places this trip, which also had Bloody Marys so of course I had to try them.<\/p>\n

Delta Blue was a New Orleans\/Mardi Gras themed place on the main street through town. <\/p>\n

\"deltablue\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a pretty standard Bloody. Served in a pint glass for $8, it had an olive and lime garnish. Spiced with horseradish and pepper, it was a tad chewy from the spices, but it had a good liquidity and was drinkable. <\/p>\n

A bit outside of town, we met up with some of Jason\u2019s friends for an art opening at Pan Dolce. Bartender Ashley perfected her own Bloody Mary mix using Absolute Peppar and a touch of Mama Walker\u2019s Maple Bacon Liquor. <\/p>\n

\"pandolce\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a good spicy mix and the maple liquor added a bit of sweetness which made it different than the usual. It had lemon garnish and a celery salt rim. And she posed for me!<\/p>\n
