Drink of the Week: The Rehab

The bloody mary has emerged as a go-to drink for late morning and afternoon weekend bar patrons.

And the trademark Cowboy Jack's bloody mary looks to cure any lingering hangovers.

Called "The Rehab," the drink is topped with a skewer featuring a bacon, cheese and egg sandwich, cheeses, a green olive, celery and a pickle.

It's part of a trend where bars are getting creative with the vodka and tomato juice mixture.

The 506 St. Germain St. downtown St. Cloud location is part of a 10-restaurant and bar chain operated by The After Midnight Group. Other Cowboy Jack's locations include Minneapolis, Plymouth, Bloomington, Woodbury, Otsego, Rochester and Bemidji. Locations also exist in Des Moines, Iowa, and Fredericksburg, Virginia.

The St. Cloud location has daily happy hour specials from 3-6 p.m. and 10 p.m.-midnight.

It also offers a bloody mary bar from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. every Saturday.
