Watch Hill Proper and Zing Zang, America’s #1 Bloody Mary Mix, have teamed up to create the World’s Most Expensive Bloody Mary in time for the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby. The Zing Zang “Win” Mary is a $1,149 bourbon Bloody Mary developed by Watch Hill Proper’s Creative Director and award-winning mixologist Karla Green with a trio of decadent sides created by Watch Hill Proper’s Executive Chef Michael Crouch. It features Zing Zang’s new Blazing Bloody Mary Mix, a flight of rare Pappy Van Winkle bourbon and is served in a 24-karat gold leaf, handblown crystal glass with a handcrafted custom silver sipper stirrer made by the fifth-generation silversmiths who made the Kentucky Derby Trophy for 47 years. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF), a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to former jockeys who have suffered catastrophic on-track injuries.
Only four Zing Zang “Win” Marys will be available on a first-come, first-served basis – but Watch Hill Proper will offer other bourbon Bloody Mary options for patrons.
