You let your bloody mary assistant know how spicy to make your bloody and then she adds Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and any extra seasonings to spruce up the mix before you begin to top your bloody mary.

The offerings on Davanti’s build your own bloody mary bar are plentiful and elevated. The olives are cheese or garlic stuffed and the veggies and pickles are pickled in-house. The beautifully pickled purple cauliflower and the hard-boiled eggs add dimension and flair to your carefully sculpted bloody. Finally, your bloody mary assistant tops your bloody with grilled asparagus, wrapped in prosciutto. O-M-GEEE, so good!
