Review:

A beefy Bloody Mary for those seeking a more hearty brunch cocktail. The addition of lemon juice and sugar to balance adds much to this cocktail, as does a can of Baxters Beef Consomme with Cask Aged Sherry.

History:

The Bloody Bull was created in the 1950s by Owen Brennan at Brennan's Restaurant in New Orleans when he decided to beef-up a Bloody Mary by adding house-made beef broth as part of his brunch concept.

Adapted from a recipe in Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide.
