Sophia’s Restaurant’s “Sammy’s Simple Bloody Mary”
The 2017 Buffalo Bloody Mary Fest presented by Compeer brought over 1700 people to Buffalo RiverWorks on Sunday afternoon for a Sunday Funday of epic proportions. After a long and bloody battle, attendees voted to crown Sophia’s Restaurant the winner of the coveted “Buffalo’s Best Bloody Mary” award with their “Sammy’s Simple Bloody Mary” recipe. Deep South Taco took the crown for the remaining two awards, “Best Garnished Bloody Mary” and “Most Creative Bloody Mary.”
The second annual sold-out Buffalo Bloody Mary Fest presented by Compeer and hosted by Step Out Buffalo brought together ten local bars and restaurants to showcase their best Bloody Mary concoction, all made with award-winning vodka from Buffalo’s own Tommyrotter Distillery. The ten bars and restaurants who participated were Billy Club, Colter Bay Grill, Deep South Taco, Lloyd Taco Factory, Pasión Latin Cuisine, Rusty Nickel Brewing Co., SEAR, Sophia’s Restaurant, The Grange Community Kitchen, and Winfield’s Pub.
Attendees were invited to try all ten of these unique Bloody Mary concoctions, which were then voted on right on their smart phones. In addition to watching the votes tally up in real time, attendees were also able to enjoy DJ Christian Martinez throughout the event, as well as appearances by ADK Bloody Mary Tonic, Buffalo Collective, Fab U Bus, Krista’s, SPACE, Studio Hue and Yelp.
