Lawrence Libations: Bleeding Kansas at Five Bar & Tables
With Kansas celebrating its 154th birthday last week, it only seemed appropriate to follow up that momentous occasion with a Kansas-centric martini for this week’s Lawrence Libations.
Bleeding Kansas () at Five Bar & Tables, 947 Massachusetts St.
Five Bar & Tables’ twist on the Bloody Mary omits the horseradish and throws in muddled jalapeno for an extra kick. The house-made mix also includes barbecue seasoning, garlic powder, dill weed, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
The hard stuff: Absolut Peppar vodka
Where it’s served:Five Bar & Tables, 947 Massachusetts St.
What it costs: $8
Other libations at this location: Beers, wines and plenty of cocktails — from well-known classics like mimosas and sangrias to the (alleged) Lawrence original, the Horsefeather. And, if the Bleeding Kansas martini doesn’t appeal to you, there’s always the regular ol’ Bloody Mary.
