SqWires' Famous Bloody Mary & Mimosa Bar
1. SqWires’ Famous Bloody Mary & Mimosa Bar
1415 S. 18TH, LAFAYETTE SQUARE
For $15, you get triple-distilled vodka, house-made Bloody Mary mix, and garnishes ranging from the traditional (celery, stuffed olives, bacon) to the quirky (sauerkraut, pico de gallo, Tater Tots). It’s like playing bartender with a vast boozy buffet at your disposal.
2. Wild Flower’s West End Mojito
4590 LACLEDE, CENTRAL WEST END
As beautiful as it is delicious, the West End Mojito is a mainstay at this beloved CWE eatery. Fresh strawberries, basil, and lime make the bright, fruity drink the perfect companion to any brunch dish and for people-watching on the expansive patio.
3. Grand Tavern’s Bloody Mary
626 N. GRAND, GRAND CENTER
If you thought Grand Tavern’s signature clothesline candied bacon dish was outrageous, get a load of the $70 46-ounce Warhol-themed Bloody Mary, holding a filet mignon, an 8-ounce burger, a shrimp cocktail, a meal’s worth of garnish, and the aforementioned bacon.
4. The Foundry Bakery’s Fruit Teas
11424 DORSETT, MARYLAND HEIGHTS
The fruit teas here are exceptionally delicious, not only the ripe, sweet, fruit purées made in house but also from the fine loose-leaf teas imported from Japan, Taiwan, and China.
5. The Wheelhouse’s Bottomless Mimosa
1000 SPRUCE, DOWNTOWN
Almost every guest at The Wheelhouse’s weekend brunch (a.k.a. “the best party brunch in town”) opts for the $15 bottomless mimosa (Classic, Rosémosa, and Frozé), a deal that transfers next door to Start Bar, where the party continues.
