lime juice, passion fruit puree, vanilla syrup, Campari, and soda.

[Alembic](http://www.alembicbar.com/) in San Francisco will add a raw quail egg to this super-duper schmancy Bloody Mary if you ask them nicely and give them $1 extra ("NOTHING IS FREE").

This drink has a pretty special backstory ("It was something I have come to understand as schadenfreude") courtesy of Brian Bartels at [Chez Sardine](http://firstwefeast.com/drink/how-to-name-a-cocktail-bartenders-share-the-stories-behind-their-most-obscure-drink-monikers/s/cousin-scotty-fails-his-driving-test/) in NYC.
