About the Bloody Maria

The Bloody Mary with tequila in place of vodka. The agave spirit's vegetal, peppery character works well with tomato and hot sauce, making it a brunch favourite in Mexico and the American Southwest.

Missing something?

  • No Tequila? Use Tequila Reposado (Rounder, a little oak)
  • No Tequila? Use Mezcal (Adds smoke)
  • No Tomato Juice? Use Clamato (Adds a briny, savoury note)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
