The coronavirus has closed the restaurants and bars, it put the kibosh on gathering for food and drinks. Cocktail hour is seeming to thrive through age of social distancing. We're coming to you with our drink of the week to keep you raising your glass at the next social distancing happy hour. This week is a version of the classic, Bloody Mary. I love it for brunch, lunch, anytime really! Our local feature this week is a Best of Erie 2019 winner, Erie Distillery. Cheers and stay well everyone!
