'Sweeney Todd' gets bloody

| | Comments (0) |
To mark the Lewis Family Playhouse's bloody production of "Sweeney Todd," a number of Victoria Gardens restaurants will be serving bloody mary drinks to get everyone in the mood. Anytime bartenders celebrate an occasion by pouring hot sauce into a cocktail is noteworthy in my book. Here's a glimpse of what they're serving, as listed in VG Dine.

Gyu Kaku, the Japanese barbecue restaurant, has a bloody mary that features shochu:

    • 1/2 glass hot and spicy V8 juice
    • 1/2 glass Clamato juice
    • 1 pinch Horseradish
    • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 dash Tabasco sauce
    • 1 tsp Olive juice
    • 1 pinch salt
    • 1 pinch Black pepper
    • 1 shot Shochu
Instructions: Add together in a glass, and stir. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge, chunk of cheese and an olive.

At Lucille's, bartenders are serving the drink Cajun style:

  • 1 ½ oz Absolut Peppar
  • 1 ½ oz Lucille's Signature Bloody Mary Seasoning Mix
  • 4 oz Tomato juice
  • 1 squeeze of lime
  • 1 squeeze of lemon
  • Served in a 16 oz salt rimmed chimney glass
  • Garnished with a celery stick & two olives
And for teetotalers, there's a version at Johnny Rockets that's actually a strawberry banana shake. I hear they go a little berserk on the strawberry syrup and the shake is garnished with a gummi eyeball.

"Sweeney Todd" opens 7:30 Friday night at the Lewis Family Playhouse.
