Beer seems to go well with just about anything.

Lunch, showers, softball, “working” from home; they all benefit from the addition of a Jubelale (Deschutes) or Marzen (Crux). Heck, Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy was pretty much made specifically to enhance the entire yard-mowing experience.

Breakfast, though, is another matter. When out with friends and family for a top-of-the-morning gathering, nothing complements the retelling of the previous night’s shenanigans or kicks off an arduous day of football-watching like a Bloody Mary or a Greyhound.

Think of it as ammunition for the a.m.

Here’s a list of some of the top breakfast drinks in Bend. As always, if you think we’ve missed a must-drink morning libation, let us have it at drinks@bendbulletin.com.

Chow’s Bloody Mary ($9): Made with jalapeno-infused Crater Lake vodka, Chow’s take on the traditional Bloody Mary might be one of the best drinks in Bend, period. Served in a Mason jar, this thing is thick and sturdy with plenty of vegetables to suck on once you’ve downed your breakfast. At 23 ounces, The Victorian Cafe’s Proud Mary Bloody ($12.99), which comes with a small block of cheese, sausage ball and grilled shrimp, is also well worth your time.

The Victorian Cafe’s Nutty Irishman ($6.95): Coffee, hazelnut liqueur and Irish cream make this a dangerously drinkable warm beverage. Seriously, this screams to be poured into a Hydro Flask growler and taken on any ski/sled/hunt-for-a-Christmas-tree snow adventure you can think of.

Spork’s Old Fashioned ($8.50): So your “breakfast” doesn’t get going until 11:45 a.m. It happens. Head over to Spork for a mouth-watering list of cocktails. For simple, traditional excellence, it doesn’t get any better than Spork’s Old Fashioned. Bourbon, palm sugars, angostura and orange bitters, lemon peel. That’s goodness in a glass.

Jackson’s Corner’s Delaware Tea ($7): Here’s a shocker: Jackson’s Corner, which crafts some of the best food in town, also has some of Bend’s top drinks. Vodka, black tea, lemon juice and marionberry cordial — a sweet liqueur — combine to make Delaware Tea the perfect complement to anything on Jackson’s menu, breakfast, lunch or dinner.
