Skinny: The Asian bloody Mary at Luca’s is the perfect bloody Mary for drinkers who vomit a little in their mouth at the taste of tomato juice. This version of the brunch standard/hangover cure has hints of a sweet Thai chili sauce and black pepper taste. Halfway through the beverage, liberal doses of hot pepper-infused vodka make sure all seems right with the world.—Jessica Novak
