Do you crave flavorful refreshment…with booze? Well, nestled in Central Square, a microchip's throw from the MIT museum, awaits a spicy beverage to tempt your discerning palette. A bloody mary from the Miracle of Science in Cambridge is just what you need to start or end your day, provided you don't require any of your higher motor functions. You'll begin to understand the awesome power of this taste sensation when the bartender pulls out the massive jar full of delicious spices and herbs magically blended by elves on loan from Santa, Keebler, or perhaps Liv Tyler from the Lord of the Rings films.

You'll stop writing bad poetry about your tortured soul and begin writing worse poetry about horseradish when you take your first sip. It's served in a pint glass, with a cucumber rather than the traditional celery stalk, along with a lime or lemon if you so wish. There was a lot of thought and love put into the recipe of this chunky-textured, tomato-based concoction. If it were a little thicker, it could be enjoyed as a soup and don’t be surprised if a tasty bit gets caught in your straw. If you're not a fan of food or drink with a spicy kick, this is not your drink…and I feel sorry for you. However, if you are, then enjoy this invigorating combination of veggies and vodka, hopefully, followed by another.

One rainy Monday holiday, my girlfriend and I discovered this boozy blockbuster and spent a good part of the afternoon happily drinking these. We then followed this with a romantic, intoxicated viewing of Tron. Oh, the memories.
