Overall



Ahhh, variety is the spice of life, and if you like variety, Café Benelux is the place! You'll find the following:
  • Traditional - Custom bloody mix, pimento stuffed olive.
  • South Sider - Peppercorn infused Rehorst vodka, hot sauce, Jalapeno-stuffed olive
  • Stinking Rose - Garlic infused vodka, garlic beef stick, shrimp
  • Athenian - Cucumber infused vodka, feta cheese, cucumber, kalamata olive
  • Rad Barbie - Horseradish bloody with barbecue sauce, bacon, olive, pickled green bean
The point is you really can't go wrong here, because the base used at Café Benelux is mighty tasty!  You can really taste the infusions though, and each brings its own unique aspect.  Among the ones we liked best was the Stinking Rose.  The garlic infusion really adds pop.  Our consensus favorite though, is the Athenian.  The cucumber infused vodka is smooth and cool, perfect for summer!

We hope they take our advice and offer Bloody Mary Flights at some point.  Congratulations guys, we acknowledge your Bloody expertise as the best in town!
Garnish


Each Mary here has its own signature touch, mentioned above.  I particularly liked the feta cheese, cucumber, and kalamata olive with the Athenian. 
Chaser



I love the High Speed Wit they serve standard here. And the chaser glasses are perfect, as you can see from the photo above.
