Emeline Bloody Mary

Adam Jimenez of Charleston, South Carolina’s Emeline Hotel, offers his take on this classic brunch beverage to kickstart your day.

The clever addition of mushroom powder adds a touch of umami flavor, which Jimenez says really makes the cocktail. Versions of the powder can be found in many grocery stores, including Trader Joe’s and Target.
