Judy Bennett

Judy Bennett has been called "screamingly funny" and "the Erma Bombeck of booze." In her book, Bloody Marys: Sanguine Solutions for a Slew of Situations, she instructs not only how to make 45 of the most unique and delicious Bloody Marys you've ever seen, but also how to use each one to bring about a particular outcome. She claims there is a Bloody Mary for any occasion, be it counting calories, counting on a promotion, or counting notches on your bedpost.

When Judy isn't behind the bar, you’re likely to find her a) organizing her 127-pair shoe collection; b) performing burlesque under her stage name, Nadia Nice; or c) teaching wellness seminars for those who lead crazy, busy, boozy lives like hers. Bloody Marys has twice made the Oregonian's list, "100 Things We Love." You’ll love this book too. You can count on it.
