Originally crafted by St. Louis bartender Todd Brutcher, who grew weary of watery bloody Marys and the endless search for a thicker mix.

After nearly a decade of regulars asking him to bottle his mix, Todd created Sweat & Tears and Mild Mannered Mary.

Sweat and Tears won a Gold Medal at the International Drunken Tomato Awards in April of 2020, a blind taste test held in Los Angeles, judged by industry leaders in the Bloody Mary scene.

Mild Mannered Mary was released in September 2020 as another option for the bloody Mary connoisseur that wants flavor and less heat.

Both mixes are thick, big and bold with low sodium and are gluten free. Sweat and Tears sodium is 4% per serving and Mild Mannered is 16%. Most leading brands, by comparison are 25-48% sodium per serving.

Both options are slightly tangy with a light brine, garlic, and peppery mouth.
