Milwaukee’s Largest Bloody Mary Party

Southeastern Wisconsin, Milwaukee County

Arrival

On November 17, WiscoMaryMJ, WiscoMaryJoe, and WiscoMaryChristin were on hand to represent WiscoMary at Milwaukee’s Largest Bloody Mary Party and Food Drive For Hunger Task Force at Great Lakes Distillery (616 W. Virginia St., Milwaukee).

It was a great day for a fun and fantastic event. We arrived around 9:30 am to set up our table in the distillery, then wandered around talking to employees and volunteers, and also the CBS Channel 58 cameraman they sent to video the event. We gave out business cards and stickers to everyone, and our sticker was added to the Wall of Local Businesses! 

When 10 am came, it was time to welcome everyone and pick volunteers to stir Milwaukee’s Largest Bloody Mary, made with, of course, Rehorst Vodka. WiscoMaryJoe was the first volunteer, and donned his paper hat and gave the Bloody Mary a lot of stirs.

The Event

Then, it was time to DRINK! $7 got you 3 tickets – one for the Bloody Mary (with lemons, limes, and a variety of hot sauces to choose from), one for the garnishes (a green olive, a pickle, a hunk of Cheddar cheese, and a beef stick), and the third got you a chaser of Chaser Beer! That’s right – Great Lakes Distillery teamed up with MobCraft Brewery to create a beer specifically as a chaser for a Bloody Mary! It was a little hoppy, but pleasant. 

We donated to the Hunger Task Force, so we also got a book of Bingo cards. Bingo was very fun and hosted by drag queens. Neither WiscoMary MJ nor WiscoMary Christin won, but WiscoMary Joe won a bottle of alcohol of his choice! They took him upstairs to the store to choose what he wanted (bourbon), and everyone was happy.

Entertainment

After the first round of Bingo, the band Sound Effect played and we drank more Bloody Marys, MobCraft Chaser chasers, and ate Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. We also took pictures with giant cutouts of Bloody Mary garnishes (sausage, cheese, celery).

Milwaukee’s Largest Bloody Mary Party event ended a little after 3, and, after having a great time and mission accomplished, we left. 

It was an excellent Bloody Adventure!
