The Bloody Mary served at Eichardt’s Hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand is legendary among locals and tourists alike, and for good reason – in our opinion, it’s even better than the original!
It’s the fresh ingredients that give it an edge; muddled cherry tomatoes and fragrant basil leaves are a perfect combination. But the crowing glory is the drizzle of Port at the end. The sweet raisin flavor is a shockingly perfect complement to the flavors of the drink, taming the acidity of the fresh tomatoes and offering just a touch of welcome sweetness.
Tawny Port is preferred, but ruby or even white Port is nearly as delicious.
