Best Bloody Marys in New Orleans
We've scoured the Big Easy to provide you a list with the best Bloody Marys around town from classic concoctions to libations with wild and crazy accoutrements. As a city that prides itself on the art of brunching, it's no surpise our Bloody Marys are delicious no matter where you go.
A few restaurants even bottle their recipes so we can experience at home. Our favorites that deliver direct to door are Daisy Dukes Signature Mix and Jester's Spicy Creole Bourbon Street Blend.
Bottoms up!
The High Flying Bloody Mary
We highly recommend The High Flying Bloody Mary at Messina’s Runway Café. It’s made with Fris Vodka and ZING ZANG and is garnish with Picked Beans, Queen Olives, and fresh Lemon and Lime. Order the bottomless. You’re going to want another.
Fiery Cajun Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary at the Courtyard Bar & Grill at Bourbon Heat is practically a meal in itself. Whether you’ve been partying all night or get their early for brunch, it’s the perfect choice.
The Ultimate Bloody Mary
This Bloody Mary is as much a meal as it is a drink. It’s made with Bobby Hebert’s own Bloody Mary mix, with infused Absolute Pepper Vodka, fried shrimp, crab cake, and bacon. As if that’s not enough, it’s garnished with lemons, limes, cocktail onions, spicy green beans, and stuffed olives. It’s not only tasty, it’s a work of art.
Proud Mary
Maison Frenchmen's signature cocktail has Tito's Vodka infused with basil and garlic, mixed with Zing Zang, fresh lemon and lime juice, Tabasco Hot Sauce and Worcestershire, garnished with pickled spicy beans, bacon and an olive. Throw back a few while listening to live music that starts everyday at 4PM (1PM on Saturday!).
Cajun Bloody Mary
The French Market Restaurant's 14-year-old Bloody Mary recipe is one of the best in town. No mixes here...only fresh ingredients, rich flavor and a little kick. We especially enjoy sipping ours on the balcony of this iconic location.
$3 Bloody Marys
Brunch without a Bloody Mary is just plain silly. Historic Tujague's Restaurant offers Bloody Marys for just $3 during brunch and lunch everyday until 3 p.m.
Bottomless Bloody Mary
Daisy Dukes serves up an award winning Bloody Mary 24 hours a day. Our favorite part: free refills with the purchase of an entree. Now that's a deal!
Felix’s Deluxe Bloody Mary
Felix’s is famous for more than oysters – their Deluxe Bloody Mary is worth texting home about. Bar Manager Chelsea Chaisson and staff start with Absolut Peppar and their house-made Bloody Mary Mix in a spiced rim glass. And here’s the part we like: they serve it with spiced beans, olives, celery, a boiled shrimp, one raw oyster on the half shell and a slice of lemon. Felix’s sold close to 15,000 of these babies last year. Who wants one?
