6 Chile Blend Seasoning Powder Bloody Mary

Ingredients:

1 Lemon wedge.

1 Lime wedge.

2 oz. of vodka (Here is where you can get creative. Lemon or pepper flavored vodka works well).

A few drops of Worcestershire sauce. 

1 Teaspoon of creamy horseradish.

1 Teaspoon of Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard or any whole grain mustard that you like.

½ Teaspoon of dried celery flakes. You can always use celery salt, but I’ve found that celery flake has a better taste. (Take the leaves only from a fresh head of celery and put them in a small brown paper bag and seal with a chip clip and put on top of your refrigerator and let the leaves dry out for about a week. Don’t forget the leaves from the heart of the celery…they have the best flavor). 

½ Teaspoon of pickle juice. (I prefer the juice from a brand called Old South Tomolives). They use a pickled green tomato which is excellent. Not only does the pickle juice add an incredible flavor but you can add the pickled green tomato as a garnish to your celery stalk.

A few shakes of Vegas Heat Junkie 6 Chile Blend Seasoning Powder

4-5 drops of Vegas Heat Junkie Garlic Habanero hot sauce. (Or any of the other 3 flavors).

Bloody Mary Mix (use the one that you like, I tend to get the spicy ones but it’s your choice)

1 Celery stalk for garnish

Building your Vegas Heat Junkie Bloody Mary.

Take a small plate and pour some of the Vegas Heat Junkie 6 Chile Blend to cover the bottom.

Now take a 16 oz. pint glass and take the lemon wedge and rim the top of the glass. Then turn the glass upside down and dip it in the Vegas Heat Junkie 6 Chile Blend and coat the rim. Make sure you get it on the whole rim and some on the sides.

Take your rimmed 16 oz. pint glass and fill it with ice.

Add a few ice cubes to a martini shaker then squeeze the lemon and lime wedge into the shaker then add in the remaining ingredients. Fill shaker halfway with bloody mary mix. 

Place the cover on the shaker and then shake it up. Pour mixture into the rimmed 16 oz. pint glass and garnish with celery stalk and drop the lemon and lime wedge into the glass. 

Don’t use a straw. You want the bloody mary to flow over the rim, so you get that extra kick of flavor.

You can be very creative and experiment with your garnishes. Try these or make up your own combinations. Cornichon pickles, pickled onions, pickled green beans, hot cherry peppers, pickled green tomatoes or a big cocktail shrimp and a crispy slice of peppered bacon. 

Enjoy and repeat often
