Bloody Mary Cocktail Lounge is situated in Gràcia, tucked away in a side street but not far from the hussle and bustle of Avinguda Diagonal. Barman Alessandro formerly worked at the nearby Hotel Casa Fuster, and his charm is matched with a deep knowledge of cocktails. The space is dimly lit and patrons can choose between sitting at the bar or on one of three inviting brown Chester sofas.
The establishment more than lives up to its name, with ten different varieties of Bloody Marys to choose from. Try the Bloody Cesar (using tomato juice infused with clams) or the Red Snapper (an infused gin recipe using rosemary and garlic). Signature drinks include cocktails such as the Aunt Theresa (Ron Santa Teresa, Passoa, Lemon, Passion Fruit, Coco Roasted Pineapple) and The Peruvian (Pisco Governor, Liquor Herbs, Lemon, Raspberry). Classic Cocktails are also available, such as the Whiskey Sour (Buffalo Trace bourbon , lemon , sugar syrup) or the Mint Julep (Wild Turkey, Lemon, Mint, Angostura , Ginger Ale). Gin Tonic aficionados will not feel left out, which is just as well because there are so many in Barcelona. The menu offers twenty two varieties of Gin Tonic, such as the Hendrick’s (Cucumber, Rose Petals, Fever Tree) and the Berkeley Square (Lemon basil leaf, Fever Tree) to name a couple.
You can now also design and customize your signature Bloody Mary: Bloody Mary a tu medida. A special menu allows you to choose first your tomato juice (house, infused with clams or tomato bio) then your distillate. Regular or premium vodka or infused with chilli, truffle, lemon grass or celery. Gin base of your choice or infused with rosmary or cucumber. You can also choose between Mezcal, Tequila or Bourbon. Add a personal touch with Port, Pedro Ximenez, Uncle Pepe, Manzanilla Wine, Sake or Vermouth. Then choose your salt (truffle salt, smoked salt, olive salt, black salt, celery salt or tajin). Next is time to spice it up by adding tabasco, tabasco chipotle, wasabi or habanero. Finally you can choose between truffles, mushrooms, romesco, olivada, soy, mustard and balsamic vinegar to add to your drink. As a tapita to go with your bloody you can choose between cheese, truffled mortadella, nachos with guacamole, clams or cockles.
The attention to detail is fantastic and the experience of the bar is first class all around. The team of Alessandro, Abel and Verónica have made Bloody Mary Cocktail Lounge a must visit destination in Barcelona, whether going out for afterwork drinks, a celebration or a romantic evening.
