WHAT: The 1800 Brunch Saloons are lively, informative, thought-provoking conversations hosted by The Thinking Drinkers, award-winning drink writers and comedians, who will deliver diverting dialogue to digest over brunch and Bloody Marias – a modern and adventurous rendition of the Bloody Mary, using tequila instead of vodka.
WHY: The brunch revolution is here to stay and the Bloody Mary is a bit passé. If you like robust brunch banter over your bacon and eggs, then come and celebrate the perfect union of tequila and tomatoes, who were always meant to be together.
