Drink of the Week: Bloody Cocktails at Brother Jimmy's

We chronicled our excitement at the fact that favorite BBQ Joint Brother Jimmy’s introduced a Brunch menu at its Murray Hill location. On a particularly sunny (and hungover) Sunday afternoon we headed over to try out some southern-fried hangover remedies. Just as we suspected, their Chicken and Waffles didn’t disappoint. They were delicious and we were ready for a brunch cocktail after only a few bites. Time for our favorite Sunday afternoon activity: a Bloody Mary bender.

Served in a mason jar, Jimmy’s pours a solid Bloody Mary (pictured). Our favorite part was the green beans used as garnish. The Bloody Mary is so successful as a brunch cocktail because it gives off the illusion of healthiness. The more vegetables that are thrown in the better. Those little sprigs of green are great because they justify at least three rounds.

The real winner was their Bloody Beer. This mixture of Tomato Juice, Worcestershire, Fresh Lime, and Budweiser may seem scary when you read it on the menu, but it’s actually incredibly refreshing. Sometimes the vodka in a Bloody Mary can be a tad harsh on a hung over tummy, and the Bud in this (they’ll pour it with a different base beer if you ask) works like a stomach settling soda when mixed with the citrus and tomato. The Bloody Beer hits the spot, especially if you snag one of the outdoor tables on a sunny weekend afternoon.

You can mix these up at home, but then you’re missing out on the fun. The prices on their brunch menu are cheap enough to merit a trip out of your apartment. This Bro. Jimmy’s location was packed in the early afternoon, and everyone was daytime drinking. We’ve been trying to figure out the origin of the term “Sunday Funday”. Even if no one here could tell us where the phrase came from, they certainly showed us the definition. Pitchers flew around the room, music blared from the speakers, and we’re guessing that most of these folks were pleasantly passed out by 7pm.

Recipe: Bloody Beer (adapted from Brother Jimmy’s Brunch Menu):

E não é que ontem, enquanto a gente jantava um arrozinho delícia, feito na hora, com um steak a parmegiana com molho de tomate de verdade, feito pelo namorado (hhmmm... tudo muito bom), o assunto virou para os 7 pecados capitais. Conseguimos encontrar 6, algum ficou perdido por aí!
Então essa é pra lembrar, relembrar e entender:

The BW piece suffers from the common pitfalls of analysis of national–leaning perspective. Here’s a quote from the article:

What happened to the "everything is local" adage? The concept of local is morphing quickly in a world where instant global communications and social media widen our circle of friends and acquaintances to include the world. In essence, we've become national—if not international—citizens.
