Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary

Bloody MaryA classic way to ease your way into the day is with a Bloody Mary. For some people, a traditional Bloody Mary is just fine, but the Bloody Mary menu available for weekend brunch at Armsby Abbey offers some amazing, creative twists that you must try. Starting with the base, Armsby Abbey, offers a range from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, El Conquistador Blanco Tequila, Right Gin made with Black Peppercorns, Square One Organic Cucumber, Basil Vodka, their House-Infused Chipotle Vodka, Garlic Vodka, or even a Spicy Jalapeño Tequila to combine with their house-made Bloody Mary mix—mild or spicy. To garnish, add cocktail onions, Spanish olives, a lime wedge, a crispy bacon strip, or house-pickled: baby carrots, cucumber or jalapeños! To bring full closure to the drink, treat the rim with traditional salt, smoked Hawaiian sea salt, or Pepper Rim. Regardless how you like it, the options at Armsby Abbey are extensive and made right.

Spicy Salami & Olive Pizza

One of the most difficult decisions to make when going to Armsby Abbey on Main Street is which beer to choose and what to eat. In the case of food, the vast selection available on the menu, supporting local farms, makes it especially hard. When choosing between Smoked Bone Marrow, the famous Mac n’ Cheese or artisan pizzas the decision can be even more difficult.

Worcester has it’s share of pizza options, but when choosing Armsby Abbey many are tempted to try some of the more exotic items without considering the pizza. The Spicy Salami & Olive pizza (shown to the left) features assorted Greek Olives, Artisan Salami, Maplebrook Farm (Bennington, VT) Hand Stretched Artisan Made Mozzarella, Organic House Crushed Tomatoes and Crushed Red Pepper. With the subtle spice of the artisan salami playing against the salt of the olives the flavors are strong and complimentary. What makes this pizza clutch, however, is the crust. Thin crusted with great air bubbles, this pizza does not crunch and crack when folded New York style.

A certain contender in the Worcester Pizza battle.
