Cocktails are a fantastic way to cool off in the summer, whether day or night. They offer delicious combinations—with or without alcohol (mocktails)—that allow for an endless variety of ingredients.
Although the original Bloody Mary recipe calls for a few drops of Tabasco, we prepared ours using our incredible Salsa Brava, and the result was… spectacular!
The secret to a great Bloody Mary lies in using quality ingredients and following the right proportions to balance the flavors—though, as you can see, there is plenty of room to innovate and create new versions that are just as tasty, if not more so: Virgin Mary (alcohol-free), Orange Mary (with orange juice and Dijon mustard), Verde Mary (with green tomatoes), Tequila Bloody Mary, Wasabi Bloody Mary… Simply by tweaking a few ingredients, we can give this popular cocktail a unique twist.

- Add the drops of Worcestershire sauce and the Salsa Brava. Mix again.
- Before serving, moisten the rim of the glass with the lime slice and dip it into a plate of coarse salt so it becomes well-coated.
- Once the glass is prepared, pour in the Bloody Mary without the ice cubes, add the salt and pepper, and garnish with the celery stalk and lime slice.
- Time to enjoy our delicious and refreshing cocktail!
