LA-based eatery Belcampo Meat Co. is serving up an unconventional take on the popular Bloody Mary tomato cocktail by offering a drink made with yellow tomatoes, homemade bacon-infused vodka, celery ice cubes and edible flowers as garnish. The unconventional ingredients made this Bloody Mary virtually unrecognizable thanks to its yellow hue and elegant presentation.
Traditionally Bloody Mary's are made with tomato juice, vodka, spices and a variety of pickled garnishes -- but that is not the case with this bacon Bloody Mary that aims for gourmet flavor and presentation. The drink features a mix of lemon, yellow tomatoes and jalapeno peppers served alongside homemade bacon vodka infused with spices and Belcampo's very own meat. The drink is then garnished with a stick of homemade green celery ice, lemon wedge and edible flowers.
