Bloody Mary Festival – Holiday Edition

Boxes will be shipped in early December so that they arrive in time for the holidays, making them the perfect holiday gift. Ticket holders can drink the Bloody Marys during the virtual event together with fellow Bloody Mary lovers from around the country, then join in the world’s largest Bloody Mary toast. The box also contains garnishes and Bloody Mary swag, including a Bloody Mary tote bag and enamel pin. Tickets are $82.50 and include the Bloody Marys, shipping, and admission to the virtual event.
