Portland author and Bloody Mary aficionado Judy Bennett has just released a new book that’s sure to help liven up your brunch parties: Bloody Marys: Sanguine Solutions for a Slew of Situations.

No matter what kind of day you’ve had or what kind of night you have planned, there’s a Bloody Mary to match your mood. From recipes to history to movies for any Bloody occasion, discover the culture behind the concoction. Dress your drink in pearls of knowledge and snark; there’s more to that toothpick than olives! And do it alongside the mothers of the masterpiece — the women of yesteryear who knew: the kiss of tomato on a clean, white apron means a good time is just around the corner.

With 45 recipes, vintage photography, and garnishes of wisdom, trivia, and legends, this book is a great addition to any well-rounded cocktail library. I mean really, who doesn’t love a Bloody Mary?

So to celebrate this book launch, Judy has generously donated a copy for a giveaway! Want this book for your collection? It can be yours! To enter, leave a comment on this post telling us your favorite and most creative Bloody Mary garnish. We’ll select a random winner on Thursday, July 14.
