Milwaukee is a town that takes its breakfast drinks very seriously, and standing tall and delicious at the top of the day-time drinks heap is the mighty Bloody Mary.
One the most beautiful aspects of this drink is its versatility. There are virtually hundreds of ways to mix a Bloody and each bar and restaurant seems to do it differently.
And that is why we asked you, the readers of OnMilwaukee.com, to pick your favorite in the city. You chose the Wicked Hop by a fairly large margin.
The Bloody Marys here come packed like a meal -- beef stick, shrimp, blue cheese stuffed green olive, marinated mushroom and piles of mozzarella cheese that took the shape of thick Japanese noodles. And that's just the garnishes.
The drink itself isn't a fire-eating contest, but rather a bold, flavorful mix of spices that tastes more savory than spicy, making it an accessible beverage for even the mildest palate.
We salute you, Wicked Hop, for doing right by the Queen of Cocktails.
