Savory and spicy — ripe tomato and tangy Worcestershire laced with chili heat, grounded by the peppery bite of blanco tequila.

The Story

The Bloody Maria swaps vodka for tequila, giving the brunch classic an earthy, vegetal lift that plays off the tomato and spice far better than a neutral spirit. It's the definitive morning-after cure across Mexico and the American Southwest.
