A trio of olives and a stalk of celery can be just the right complement to a classic Bloody Mary with a salted rim. But for an extra salty sip that both quenches your thirst and satisfies your appetite, these Bloody Marys with greasy garnishes, like maple bacon, fried mac and cheese, and even a chicken wing, hit the spot––especially when you’ve have a bit too much to drink the night before.
