the best [bloody mary] i've ever had.

i have enjoyed this drink in multiple cities, states, even out lying countries of the US. but i have to say, the best bloody mary hails out of stevens point wisconsin at a joint called rustys backwater saloon. their mediocre website does not even begin to explain the deliciousness served in a large cup with enough fixings to feed you for a day. 


they are good and they know it, "we are very proud of our bloody marys. we think that it may be the best bloody mary you have every tasted!" and boy, were they right. in order to give you the full description without drooling over the keyboard, i first must give you the image of rustys location. 


stevens point is a rural area smack dab in the middle of wisconsin, home of the UWSP pointers. rustys isn't just some college bar, it is a bar tucked away in the middle of no where, you enter and its a shrine of the wisconsin life with images dating back from centurys ago. rusty, a rough and gruff (but amazingly friendly) man operates the bar with his dog by his side, rusty is also responsible for starting the tradition of offering amazing bloody marys, at any time of the day. 


what makes this drink the best i ever had has so much more to do with the pristine mixture of the best ingredients in wisconsin, a spicy but delicious tomato mixed, the perfect amount of vodka, and the best fixins' i've ever had complete with pickles, olives, pickled asparagus, and a spicy beef stick big enough to cover your dinner, all served out of an old fashioned mason jar, along with a "snit" of beer for a chaser. 


by far, the best bloody mary in the midwest. 

let me introduce myself.

my name is jenna, i am 22 years old. i am getting married in exactly one year, 4 days to a wonderful man named drew. he supports me in all i do and love, which includes bloody marys. this is why i think it is important that i share my love and devotion to the tomato based drink, which for the record, is my drink of choice whether it be 8AM or 11PM.

my love for bloody marys has not been life long, but let me tell you... i love them. a bloody mary makes its debut at every large family event and holiday where my grandpa, the master mixer, shells them out to the entire family.

i like them spicy, a little sweet, with peppers, different kinds of vodka, every type of fixing, sauce, addition, i have tried them all... now it is my turn to rate them, share knowledge about them, and let you know where you can find the BEST bloody mary in the midwest... beginning with, none other than the good state of wisconsin.
