In this edition of “Mix Your Menu,” we focus on riffing the Bloody Mary.
Breakthru Arizona’s Matt Lockwood – a 20-year beverage industry veteran with extensive experience designing custom cocktails for high-profile bars and restaurants – serves up three spins on the classic “hair of the dog” drink.
2 oz. silver tequila
4 oz. fresh Bloody Mary mix
2 dashes of Tapatio Sauce
2 dashes of Tabasco Sauce
Present with lemon, lime, pickle, jalapeno and pepperoncini
“Classic twist on the Bloody Mary using silver tequila instead of Vodka. You can add extra hot sauce and kick it up a couple of few notches.”
2 oz. bourbon
4 oz. fresh Bloody Mary mix
2 dashes of hot sauce
1 tsp wasabi
Present with celery stalk, lime wedge, blue cheese-stuffed olives
“Excellent flavor profiles pairing bourbon and bacon. It is one of the best ways to enjoy brunch!”
2 oz. cucumber vodka
4 oz. fresh Bloody Mary mix
2 dashes of hot sauce
Present with cucumber, olive, cocktail onion, rosemary and black pepper
“A slight twist from the classic Bloody Mary by adding the amazing flavors of cucumber. Try muddling cucumbers and limes before building this cocktail!”
