Throughout Melbourne’s six lockdowns we’ve encountered all sorts of extra cocktails: 1.5-litre Margarita “bagnums”, 1.5-litre bottled Negronis, big Slurpee-style cups of Piña Colada and more.
Now comes Mega Mary, a one-litre Bloody Mary containing fennel salt and Truff black-truffle hot sauce. The hefty swing-top bottles can be pre-ordered through Zsa’s Bar Bistro & Deli in Northcote and will be available for five days only.
“Zsa’s is open for Martinis and oysters from as early as 10am daily, but we very soon realised that a kick arse Bloody Mary was an essential addition to this morning starter repertoire,” says Zsa’s owner, Zowie Minchin. “In the experimental stages we grabbed a bottle of Truff off the deli shelf and added it to the mix ... [it’s] now our signature morning, afternoon and everyday drink.”

SIGN UPZsa’s also sells a range of highly, highly complementary food, including oysters by the half and whole dozen, handmade pasta and sauces, cheese packs and picnic-ready antipasto packs.
To pre-order a Mega Mary visit the Zsa’s website, then swing by the venue’s takeaway window to collect. Orders can also be placed by phone Wednesday to Sunday.
