To get us started, here’s a little Bloody Maria recipe! Enjoy!

 

The Bloody Maria
2 ounces Tequila-I used a Reposado (add more if you like a heavy handed drink)
2 cups (approximately) Veggie Juice (I blended carrots, tomato, kale, beets and celery, and garlic to make mine, but you can also make your own with whatever veggies you have, or go easy and get something pre-made!)
Horseradish to taste
Pepper to taste
Worcestershire sauce-two hearty splashes
Hot sauce to taste (I like tapatio)
Splash of seltzer to thin it out a bit
-Shake your main ingredients up
-Coat the rim of a glass with a combination of smoked salt and chili powder, and garnish with your fave treats. I used:
Pickles (I make my own, so I have them on hand)
Bacon, delicious bacon…there’s no recommended maximum, but you should include it!
Oh yes…so good. What will you be making for brunch?
Yours in food,
Raina
