Is that a pipette?
Sort of? It’s a mini-baster with some Worcestershire in it. Waitress said enough customers don’t like it that they just use that. I, personally like it in there.
Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.
No shit? That's a whole-ass mf chicken on there?
I'm cutting you both off. You've had enough.
That's a whole fucking meal.
Also high risk of food borne illness.
That's what the alcohol is for: to sanitize it.
Ok the gun fight comment got me! You win, good sir!
That second pic had to be in Maryland, right?

Crabs == Maryland!
This is not helping treat my hangover.
I’d be fucking pissed if they put meat in my cocktail
I thought we, as a society, were over this ridiculous "drinking from jars" phase.
What's wrong with drinking from jars?
Edit: I meant to say, "There was a phase and I missed my one chance to be cool?!"
Phase? I grew up poor AF, so it was either jars or beat-up, cast-off Tupperware cups, and I always hated the feel of putting plastic to my mouth. Now that I'm grown (definitely not grown-up, though) and actually able to afford excellent glassware, jars are just a great way to reduce and reuse. I'm all about multiuse items, and jars are one of my favorites.
Lots of things come in straight-sided jars which maximize volume stored with volume consumed. The jar comes with a sealing lid. They tend to be durable since they have to survive shipping. I can make a big cocktail or some great food to give to a friend without worrying if my container comes back. Yeah, I'm Team Jar all the way.
I’m not a fan of it either. The rims are too thick to pick up the salt, and there’s not enough diameter to get enough salt for the whole drink. Plus, the curve from the jar to the rim makes it hard to get all of the drink without getting hit in the face by the remaining ice. Just a terrible cocktail glass.
Why not just use the straw?
I don’t like using straws. Plus, it’s a salted rim - meant to pick up some salt when drinking the drink. Honestly, though, kind of surprised you’re the first person to point it out. I means, it’s right there in the picture!
Fair enough.
If you did like using straws you could just swipe some of the salt onto the rim of the straw.
Ordered a Bloody Mary at an airport bar. Dude said "it comes with a chicken wing, you want it?" "Well, if it comes with it..."
Fucking thing was a meal. Had two big chicken wings, fried onion rings, tomato, pickle, all sorts of nonsense on a stick.
I'm all for a Bloody Mary with pickles and stuff, but, like, keep it simple. A pickle spear, some pearl onions, some spicy green beans, nothing crazy like this.
Also, bacon? C'mon get that greasy shit out of my cocktail!
The grease counteracts the acidity of the tomato juice. I'm a fan.
Was the chicken wing hanging off the side of the glass? Like was it dipped in the cocktail? I think I might try that.
Have to disagree with you on the bacon. It’s really good after it’s soaked up some of the Bloody Mary flavor. Plus celery is nature’s cocktail stirrer!
I'm with you on the celery and veg, (and most anything pickled) but I don't want meat or fried things in my cocktails. But horses for courses and what not so you enjoy your bacon booze.
The chicken wings were on a skewer stuck in the drink. I think I got a picture of the monstrosity somewhere and if I can remember to look for it, I'll reply with it. It was an impressive amount of food for a cocktail order haha!
… horses… for courses…?
Literally never heard this phrase before, but it seems very similar to “different strokes for different folks.”
It doesn’t make any sense to me but I kind of love it.
Naw, dude. A decent Bloody Mary should be a reasonable substitute for a small meal.
Think about it: you're basically dinking a gazpacho, with a shot of vodka added. The additions flesh it out with something you can sink your teeth into.
It sounds like alcoholism to have one of these instead of lunch (on a weekend), but the alcohol content is tiny compared to all of the other stuff you're ingesting. It's like having a glass of wine with your borcht.
Also, you mentioned having it in the airport. Bloody Mary mix tastes different, and far better, at altitude. Have your next one in the air; you won't get all of the trimmings, either. I sometimes ask for a virgin Bloody Mary just because of how good it tastes. Something about how high altitude changes our sense of taste; there's an article about it on the intertubes somewhere.
Best Bloody Mary I had was in NOLA and it wasn't a meat and cheese bouquet, but garnished with various pickles that actually complimented and added depth to the drink. I don't think a Bloody Mary should be a meal, if I wanted a meal, I'd order one.
What’s that plastic thing?
It's probably a LED light.
Edit: OP said it contains Worchestershire sauce
Worcestershire
Tampon packaging
Bloody lol
Kinda looks like the bulb of a disposable eyedropper. Don't know why, though.
It's called a Pipette

The fact that it's in a cocktail is equally mystifying to me.
Caesars for the win
Thanks, I hate this.
When you need a full-on demolition crew just to get your drink on
I mean I thought that, but then the Canadians and Marylanders showed up with their freakish abominations!
Sorry but that looks disgusting.
It's a bloody Mary, that one is honestly pretty tame compared to others I've seen.
Yeah, looks pretty normal. A good Bloody Mary makes a decent meal all by itself.
Buy what's in the plastic bulb, do you think? Don't tell me it's a little shot of beer; that'd be an insultingly tiny amount of beer.
The bulb was actually pretty cool. It has Worcestershire in it. Waitress said some people don’t like it. I am not one of those people.
Why do people like these?
.
I thought that was cranberry juice?
I go through phases. Like someone else said, a Bloody Mary is a meal in a glass. It’s really different from most cocktails. I also like a Bloody Caesar, but my family calls it a Clam Digger.
In Canada, it's just a Caesar. And literally no one orders a Bloody Marie here (Caesars are basically our national drink now). We have egregious overproduced version like the above as well. Took this photo of a menu in Vancouver.
Makes for great instagram pics
