Check out this umami take on the Bloody Mary.
Truly encapsulating the essence of brunch—the Bloody Mary is a timeless fan-favorite.
At Chef Mike Price’s newest West Village concept, The Mary Lane, the beverage team led by Beverage Director Lisa Komara approaches drink creation from multi-faceted angles in order to make imaginative spins on classics.
Their version of the Bloody Mary, called Something About Mary, includes the traditionality of vodka but with kimchi (sourced by Chef de Cuisine Andrew Sutin) and lime.
As a complement to the vegetable-driven menu and seasonal fare, their goal was to focus on the probiotic nature of kimchi—the beautiful, fermented Korean staple that adds even more depth to the cocktail.
“Since we’re focused on seasonal fare, including highlighting the healthy aspects of cuisine, we really wanted to focus on the probiotic nature of kimchi that already has so much flavor and gusto it seems like a no-brainer as a thrilling new addition to our house-made bloody mix. It adds umami and depth to a time-honored brunch beverage that speaks for itself,” says Revecka Kogan, The Mary Lane’s Assistant General Manager.
