The Bloody Mary has become one of the most widely available and widely distinctive cocktails served from the highest end restaurants to the most reasonably priced New York City boozy brunches. A very special Sunday afternoon in April will serve to crown some of the finest being prepared in all of Brooklyn as the second annual Bloody Mary Fest descends upon Sunset Park for three festive hours. A day of unlimited tasting, live music and tasty fare awaits on April 12th- and Early Bird tickets are both discounted, and available now.

Brooklyn’s got its share of outstanding bars and restaurants and as such, the likes of Pok Pok/Whiskey Soda Lounge, Lucky Luna (2014′s prestigious winner), Black Swan, Beast of Bourbon, Mominette and Cain’s Tavern join twelve total entrants as they vie for Bloody Mary supremacy. Not to be outdone, Williamsburg’s own Delaney BBQ will be on site doling out some hearty smoked barbecue dishes to help ease the repeat pours of each delicious drink. The best part of all though is that your vote counts! Aside from a panel of formidable judges and bloggers making the final call- the People’s Choice Award is the one that truly matters and each guest will cast a vote for the best of the entire day.

It’s affordable. It’s festive. It’s sure to be an outstanding afternoon- make sure to grab your tickets now before February 27th and secure your discount on the 2nd Annual Bloody Mary Fest, crowning Brooklyn’s best made drink. It’s sure to be a ‘Bloody’ good time!
