"This Prescott cocktail bar offers an inventive take on a bloody mary — though some purists may consider it too far from the source material. Cereus starts with a produce-heavy base, incorporating tomato juice, carrot juice, bell peppers, and roasted garlic. For its noteworthy funk and heat, bartenders use a combination of Chinese hot mustard, white miso, kimchi, fresh tomatillo, and togarashi spices. The outcome is a distinctly beautiful, well balanced, delicate bloody. Visitors can choose from a range of spirits, like vodka, tequila, and gin — here, it’s best to stick to the classic vodka." - Chad Walsh, Maya MacEvoy
