Champagne may be the drink of choice on New Year’s Eve, but January 1st is all about the Bloody Mary, especially for those who may have had too much bubbly the night before. The tomato juice and vodka-based cocktail is a great addition to breakfast out, but the drink has been so popular on January 1st that the day was designated National Bloody Mary Day.
While visiting Chandler, you can kick off your New Year with the morning-friendly cocktail (and maybe even a hearty brunch) at one of these Chandler restaurants, each known for its outstanding Bloody Marys. Some of the Chandler, Arizona restaurants listed below offer their Bloody Mary with weekend brunch, perfect for weekend toast with family and friends.
