Sip of the Day

January 1, 2021

Day #1 of the year.

Bloody Maria

January 1st marks National Bloody Mary day, because there’s nothing like a replenishing Bloody Mary when you’re feeling depleted from the night before. 2021 marks a year of radical change (good riddance 2020), hope, and innovation, and your first drink of 2021 should be no different. Nurse your fatigue in style with a Bloody Maria, a twist on a traditional Bloody Mary using Fonseca’s Bin 27 as the alcoholic base rather than Vodka. With sugar, spice, and everything nice, it’s looking like a brighter 2021 already!

Cocktail Recipe

Fonseca Bin 27 3 oz., Bloody Mary mix 4 oz., 4 Dashes of Hot Sauce, Celery or sliced lime to garnish.

Food Match

Bacon, Burgers, Fries, and Mozzarella sticks

Featured Wine

Fonseca BIN 27 Porto

Wine Tasting Notes

This sweet wine shows fresh, rich blackberry and cassis aromas. On the palate, it has a well-knit structure, with a velvety, luscious mouthfeel and smooth tannins.
