In a restaurant named Lucky Penny, a drink dedicated to Abe Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, is only fitting. This twist on a bloody mary is such a bright shade of green, it looks like it belongs in a juice bar. And ingredients like tomatillos in the mix offer a bright, fresh flavor to match the color, while serrano and green Tabasco provide color-coordinated kick.
