Sordid Tale

Fans of Bridgerton recently learned that season two will become a reality on March 25th of this year. If you happen to be such a fan, the wait will no doubt seem interminable. To ease the pain, let me introduce you to this delightful companion book, The Regency Book of Drinks, Quaffs, Quips, Tipples, and Tales from Grosvenor Square by Lady Thornwood a.k.a. author Amy Finley. It is a charming and beautifully illustrated book on proper cocktails, all with a Bridgerton leaning.

I chose to make the cocktail known as “Sordid Tale,” and was not disappointed. It’s a pimped out Bloody Mary made extra special via the addition of olive juice. I employed the use of alcohol in mine. Yum! Yum!

Sordid Tale
For 2

16 oz. tomato juice
2 oz. hot sauce
1 oz. Worcestershire sauce
1 - 2 t. prepared horseradish
1 - 2 oz.
tamari
1 - 2 oz. green olive or capers brine

Mix in a small pitcher, adjusting ingredients to taste. Serve over 1-inch ice cubes in
highball glasses, garnished with a lemon wedge and several green olives impaled on a skewer. If one’s m’lady is grieved to the point that spirits are required, add 2 ounces gin to each glass.

Fascinating concoction! Don’t know as I’d like it but I’d give it a try.

Looks like my kind of Bloody Mary - I would definitely go for the gin!
