Friend of Meal Ticket MB recently shared this photo of what appears to be the single most gorgeous Bloody Mary in the history of recreational alcohol consumption, so it behooved us to find out more. Don't let the Good Dog-ian glassware fool you — this is actually the house Bloody at Atlantis: The Lost Bar (2442 Frankford Ave.). The piece of flawless tomato-juice art is the handiwork of bartender Marianne Morrison and GM Fritz (just Fritz), both of whom run the Kensington tavern on Sundays.

In addition to Morrison's guarded-like-a-CIA-secret mix, each $8, double-shot Bloody is dressed like a boozed-up antipasti plate, with adornments including (but not limited to) a salami/provolone rollup, a grilled shrimp, pepperoncini, cherry tomatoes, onions, olives, cucumber, bell pepper and pickles. They only do them on Sundays from 12:30 to 7, and Morrison says she typically has the ingredients to crank out about 25 of them during her shift. Your day-drinking mission, should you choose to accept it, is to become of those 25.

    The Bloody Mary at Atlantis has been around for quite awhile. I am so glad you did a write up on it! Alex, the former bartender on Sunday's and originator of the "dressed up version" will be so pleased!!
