With a Bloody Mary, of course! There’s nothing like the hair of a dog and these drinks go down like an entire meal. Here are the nine best Bloody Marys in Minneapolis:

Uptown has always been a trendy neighborhood, and Burger Jones is no exception with their super hip mason jar cocktails. CityPages voted their Bloody Mary as the best in the Twin Cities! Opt for the horseradish vodka to bring the flavor over the top.
