Cocktail of the week: Cafe Cùil’s Buckfast bloody Maìri – recipe | The good mixer

Café Cùil on the Isle of Skye, led by chef-owner Clare Coghill, has created a Scottish-inspired brunch cocktail called the Buckfast Bloody Maìri. This unique take on the traditional Bloody Mary incorporates Buckfast, a sweet tonic wine with a surprising Scottish adoption despite its English monastic origins. The cocktail is garnished with a slice of pickle, offering a distinctive "punch." This innovation highlights a creative culinary twist on a classic, blending regional flavors and traditions.
