Meet my new favorite brunch drink, the Spanish Bloody Maria!
This Spanish Bloody Maria cocktail is made with tequila and lime juice for a fun twist on the classic Bloody Mary.
It’s like a Bloody Mary in that it’s made with tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and spices, but instead of using vodka, I used my personal favorite liquor – Tequila!
The tequila adds a nice little kick to this already punchy drink, and gives the cocktail a nice Spanish twist, which you know I love. 😉
Ingredients:
- 2 shots good quality tequila
- 1/2 lime, juiced.
- 6 ounces tomato juice or tomato-vegetable juice cocktail
- Hot sauce
- Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive juice
- Large Spanish pimiento stuffed olives, for garnish
- Spicy pickled beans, for garnish
- 1/4 seedless cucumber cut into sticks, for garnish
Directions:
- Combine tequila, lime juice, tomato juice, hot sauce and some pepper, to taste, and olive juice in a cocktail shaker and shake to combine.
- Shake briefly and strain into a pint glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with olives, beans and cucumbers. Enjoy!
