Bocca Lupo

The Brooklyn Bloody Mary Brigade strikes again and on this particular Sunday we had our eyes set on Bocca Lupo. This cobble hill, glass fronted, corner spot specializes in small plates, panini, tramezzini and bruschette.  The industrial feeling dining room and gorgeous granite bar is the perfect place to sip on a delicious Mary and THAT my dear friends is exactly what we did!

The bloody beverage had a nice overall flavor with a hint of anise and went down quite easy, although was a bit heavy on the tomato juice. To put it frankly... it needed a bit more kick in the pants! We like our Mary's spicy and this didn't cut it. The garnish was so so. I am always up for some olives, but a caper or two would have been nice.  

The food was stellar and honestly made our beverages more enjoyable.  I would recommend the Tuna Olive Salad (Packed with Italian Oil Tuna and meaty Olives) or Poached Eggs with Cremini Toast and tomato funduta. We found that both dishes accompany a Mary rather nicely.

Cameron-passed on a bloody...but would recommend the Absolute Pepper Vodka to make your own Marys at home.
