Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Adds Celebrity Partner

If you tend to find yourself reading aloud, you may want to step away from any nearby mirrors before you read this news. The Consortium of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena announced a partnership with esteemed Chef Michael White to put a delicious, new European twist on the classic drink made with the balsamic vinegar—the Bloody Mary.

Chef White specializes in Italian cuisine from the Emilia Romagna region, according to a press release, and has offered a unique rendition of the popular drink. Incorporating fresh tomato juice, celery bitters, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce—and a very generous pour of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP, of course—the chef has emulated the classic cocktail with a new modern twist. Much different from the typical taste of a Bloody Mary, but no less delicious, those with a glass in their hand also experience the spicy notes of pepper, horseradish, and Tabasco.

While some may be tempted to keep their delicious secrets to themselves, this partnership is far from selfish, as the two have released the enticing new “Mary Modena” recipe to be tried in kitchens everywhere.

Consumers need only to combine the ingredients, stir thoroughly, and enjoy.
