Bloody Maria (Cocktail) #SundaySupper

It's time for our annual #SundaySupper Halloween party!  When I think of a Halloween party, I envision all kinds of fun foods that looks like something you wouldn't normally eat, and regular foods (and beverages) with spooky and ghoulish names.  That's why for this year Halloween Extravaganza, I'm serving up a cocktail whose name is just perfect for a ghoulish Halloween party...Bloody Marias.  

Bloody Marias are the Mexican cousin of the classic Bloody Mary Cocktail because they're made with tequila instead of vodka.  And because tomato juice is a little hard to come by in my small town, I use V8 juice instead.  (I've also made these Bloody Marias with Clamato.)  And to spice things up a bit, I add a little salsa Valentina (my favorite bottled salsa).

Before I share the recipe, I apologize for the photo.  I'm having technical difficulties with getting the photos from my camera to my computer, so I'm using a photo I shot with my tablet.  

Bloody Maria

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. tequila
• Fresh limes
• Worcestershire sauce 
• Valentina hot sauce 
• V8 or tomato juice
• Ground black pepper
• Celery stalks (for garnish) 

Directions:
Wet the rim of a large glass with fresh lime juice, then dip rim in salt.  Turn glass over and fill glass with ice, Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the glass and add a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce and Valentina hot sauce.  Pour in the tequila and fill the rest of the glass with V8 juice.  Stir gently with a stalk of celery and sprinkle top with ground black pepper.  Enjoy!
