\"Sportsman\"<\/a>
\nThe Sportsman or often referred to as “Sporty’s” is one of the few establishments that have lasted a long time in SB. Established in 1984, although it seems longer. It’s a friendly dive with a good jukebox, and although I was never 86’d, I know someone who can make that claim to fame. The only oddity I saw in many visits was the way one bartender made a Bloody Mary. I’ve had some tasty ones over time, although I’d never ordered one from her, and thank God I hadn’t ordered this one. There are numerous recipes and most have an ingredient or two added so that it can be named accordingly; Cajun Bloody Mary, Bite Your Mama Bloody Mary, etc., but most keep the Worcestershire sauce at a dash or two. The Algonquin Bloody Mary (possibly named after the Algonquin River in Illinois) calls out for 1 1\/2 tsp Worcestershire. Maybe that river runs brown and the amount of Worcestershire added matches closely in color. This drink ran quite brown as she completely disregarded the idea of a ‘dash’, bypassed the ‘tsp’ and just poured in the Worcestershire from the bottle. I’ve found a Wasabi Bloody Mary recipe that calls out for 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire \u2014 I think she had even passed that amount. I didn’t get to see who ordered this and missed out seeing the reaction to how it tasted. My recommendation \u2014 get your Bloody Mary’s from the Mesa Cafe or if in the valley – they make ’em great at Maverick’s Saloon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
