Best CRC Bloody Mary?

Mrs. 49er and I were in the SFO CRC on 7/26.

They were individually, hand made, from scratch. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

There is nothing like a stiff drink to start off your day.

LAX also makes them from scratch. I'm not that big a Bloody Mary fan, but they look so good there that I usually end up with one in my hand. Which other rooms mix all the ingredients themselves on a per drink basis?

I agree.
The same lady always makes mine at the LAX CRC and uses Vodka, Tomato Juice, Worcestershire Sauce, T****** Sauce , Celery Salt, Horseradish, Garlic Powder, Cracked Pepper and finishes it a touch of red wine.
Excellent Bloody Mary!! In fact, I may have one or two tomorrow while awaiting my flight to Alohaland.

Thanks for the memories. Yes, indeed, that Bloody Mary in the LAX CRC is excellent. ^

Mixed Drinks

I've been having a really hard time getting a good mixed drink in the CRC. I've only been a member of the CR for a month or so and I've only had drinks in the one in ATL and BOS but all the drinks are extremely weak. Anyone else having better luck than I am?

So tell them to make it a double! Of all the problems people have with DL, this one is easily solved.

Lax

LAX is the place for a great, tasty, refreshing BM. Nothing relaxes you like a LAX BM. If that one attendant (it must be the same one) ever goes elsewhere, I will follow her to get her EX-LAX BM.

Very nice. Thought about a similar post but never would have come up with the "ex-lax" part.

BTW, some FA's make a wicked BM also. I had a few on my recent JFK-DEN flight. They were desperately needed after my horrible JFK checkin experience.

I must agree that LAX CRC makes the best Bloody Mary. Better than the pre-mixed crap you get in ATL and CVG. Who decided that pre-mixing Bloody Mary's was a good idea? Do they pre-mix their bourbon and cokes at home?

Thumbs up

In defense of ATL, there is one gentleman in the A lounge (?) [upstairs] that makes Bloody Marys from scratch, they are dynamite - horseradish and TABASCO (whoops, can we say that?) and if you tip, they're doubles w/o asking
