Spicy Mexican-Style Bloody Mary Mix
A Mexican-style Bloody Mary Mix recipe that incorporates fresh roasted tomatoes, roasted jalapeno peppers, Mexican oregano, plenty of spicy seasonings and so much more.
Happy Thirsty Thirteenth from Patty. I’ve been dying to make some Bloody Mary mix from scratch for a long time. I waited all summer long for our heirloom tomatoes to ripen so I could make some amazing tasting, homemade tomato juice and cook the spicy flavors right into it. I knew the heirlooms would bring such a fresh taste. However, being in zone 5, many of the heirlooms didn’t ripen until REALLY late in the season. And then life got busy so we roasted the tomatoes and popped them in the freezer to use somehow later. If you want to make this fully from scratch in the winter, just buy tomatoes at the store. Otherwise you can use tomato juice and save a few steps. But! This was still SO good from the frozen heirlooms. We also roasted jalapenos and garlic, which I highly recommend, as it really adds a depth of flavor.
