Dust the rim of a pint glass with Memphis Championship Barbecue’s “Magic Dust” spice blendAdd 2 oz. Absolut Peppar Vodka over iceFill with Bloody Mary mixGarnish with the “buffet” and a celery stalk

God bless the Bloody Mary and the hungover bartender who thought to make himself a liquid lunch complete with a little hair of the dog. In this case, the popular Sunday (Monday, Tuesday …) brunch bevvie is served Southern Illinois-style with an accompanying “buffet”—that is, a skewer of a hot link, a cheese cube and an olive to nurse you back onto solids. Pour yourself one, slip on your darkest shades and enjoy quietly. Now if only you could put a stop to whoever’s attacking your forehead with a jackhammer.
