Virtual
The Bloody Mary Festival, Holiday Edition: 1 p.m. Jan. 1. This annual salute to the classic Bloody Mary has gone virtual. Order a festival kit ($82.50) by Dec. 7, and a box of small-batch Bloody Mary mixes from around the country will be shipped to each ticket holder before the event. Each box contains enough mix for 12 cocktails each, plus garnishes — hello, pepperoni straws and Dill Pickle Rim Salt — and swag. (You supply the booze.) On New Year’s Day, join the virtual festival to hear from the makers behind each Bloody Mary mix, listen to the judging panel and cast your vote for the people’s choice winner — and, of course, toast the new year. www.thebloodymaryfest.com
