I was an hour late getting to the Saucer for Sunday Fun Day yesterday, but when I walked in I noticed something new.
They’ve added a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar. You pay for a glass with ice and vodka, and then you spice and garnish it as you like. They had a variety of Bloody Mary ingredients (click on the photo to see the ingredients in a larger size), allowing you to customize your beverage as you see fit.
I uploaded a pic of the Bloody Mary bar to Facebook and joked around that they copied the idea from the Silly Goose, but Saucer GM Kirk had the last laugh on that one. He replied that he started doing the Bloody Mary bar at the Cordova Saucer five years ago – it just hadn’t made its way Downtown until this week. So the Saucer is actually the originator of the Bloody Mary bar in Memphis. Good for them for trying something new – it will probably draw more women to the Saucer for Sunday Fun Day.
In other news: My friend Kevin Cerrito, who is the host of Ferraro’s Tuesday night trivia, is trying to win Doritos Locos tacos for the entire city. To help him win, retweet this tweet.
The usual drill for me tonight. Pint Nite at the Saucer at 6, poker at the Goose at 7:30.
