I do love a bit of brunch. Or, if we're going to be honest - I like the idea of drinking at what is basically breakfast time. More specifically, I like the idea of drinking Bloody Marys at 11 AM.
To anyone who thinks mixing up a Bloody Mary is just a matter of pouring some tomato juice and chucking some vodka & tabasco in there - you clearly have only had the British Airways variety of a Bloody Mary. You are missing out.
Having drunk my way from Shoreditch to Chelsea over the years, I have been on a mission to find the best Bloody Mary in London for some time now. And I have found some very strong contenders - Kopapa in Covent Garden, Riding House Café in Soho, Hoxton Grill in Shoreditch - all have made me a very happy hungover girl in the past.
On Saturday, I was not so much hungover as I was recovering from a flu... Never the less, a girl has got to eat and since one of my west London girls had trekked all the way to Shoreditch from Maida Vale I obviously had to find us a cool hipster venue for brunch and gossip.
We wound up at the fabulous Beard and Tail and I jumped on the offer of their special Bloody Mary, also known as a Bloody Marvellous. And swear to God - this drink both cured my flu and my winter related depression. Plus, the bartender was incredibly cute.
So good news for Beard and Tail as I will be spending much more time and money there now, bad news for all other London bars as their Bloody Mary sales will drop dramatically over the next few months.

| Why do not other bars put their BM's in a pint sized glass and serve pork scratchings with them? It's genius. Pure genius. |
