National Bloody Mary Festival held in Wisconsin for first ever time

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- On the Plaza at Fiserv Forum on Sunday was a celebration of a special drink that comes in many variations.

It was the Bloody Mary Festival-Wisconsin.

This was the first time that the national festival came to Wisconsin.

Dozens of bars and restaurants across the state were offering up samples of their version of the classic cocktail.

"One of my favorites is the raceway in Slinger, the mixture is delicious, mine is anything with snacks on it, that would be the Loaded Slate," said one attendee.

The festival heads to San Francisco next.
