No one puts as much time, care and thought into Bloody Marys as Mira Castillo, daytime bartender at Daly's Pub in Astoria. Having spent the better part of a decade perfecting her tomato-based libations, Castillo serves up three kinds of $8 Bloody Marys, all made with love and attention by the understated tattooed mixologist. For those with an aversion to piquancy, she makes a Hail Mary that features homemade vodka-infused sun-dried tomatoes. Her medium blend, the Something About Mary, maintains a bold, tangy flavor that lingers on the palate. And her fiery Bloody Maria, made with tequila instead of vodka and garnished with a giant shrimp, will clear the sinuses. But the best part of Castillo's concoctions are their Sunday prices — buy two and get your third free. Treat Castillo well and she'll even throw in a bagel...
