Mmmmm the Bloody Mary. What a perfect breakfast cocktail. When I turned 21, I was most excited to go to brunch at the Green Mill in Bemidji to get french toast and a Bloody Mary. Since moving back to the Twin Cities, some friends and I started a "Breakfast Club." We meet one Sunday a month for brunch, Bloodies and conversation. My mission is the find the best Bloodies in the Twin City area. First stop.....Bonfire on Grand Avenue.
Bonfire on Grand Avenue in St. Paul is famous for their dueling pianos. On Sundays they offer a brunch and a Bloody Mary bar, which quite possibly are the greatest invention ever. They bring you your vodka and you get to choose your tomato juice and garnishes. I choose to mix mine with Calmato Juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and garnished with pickles and blue cheese stuffed olives. Other options are Bonfire's house made tomato mix, green olives, green beans, cheese, pepperoni and shrimp. The plus side is you can take an appetizer plate for the other garnishes you don't put into your drink! The Bloody Mary's are $4, which I think is pretty reasonable.
Bonfire has a small brunch menu, but you are also able to order off their regular menu during brunch. I would recommend the Eggs Benedict which comes with cheesy hash browns and fruit. They offer $2 Mimosas as well, which are another great breakfast drink. They do take reservations, but if you don't make one there usually isn't a huge wait.
