Sonoran Bloody Mary with Wild Chiltepin
Bloody Mary recipe with wild chiltepin hot sauce. 5 minutes, 1 serving. The boldest cocktail with the character of northern Mexico.
By Julian Orozco, founder of La Yaquiyori

Make the boldest cocktail in your repertoire. The traditional Bloody Mary benefits enormously from wild chiltepin: the explosive spiciness replaces Tabasco with a cleaner, fruitier, more complex profile. It is a Bloody Mary with the character of northern Mexico.
Ingredients
- 60 ml vodka
- 150 ml tomato juice
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 generous tablespoon La Yaquiyori chiltepin hot sauce
- Ice
- Celery stalk and lime wheel for garnish
Method
1. In a highball glass, mix vodka, tomato juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and La Yaquiyori chiltepin sauce.
2. Add ice and stir with a long spoon until integrated.
3. Garnish with a celery stalk and a lime wheel.
Tips
If you like a salted rim, rub a lime around the rim of the glass and dip it into a mix of salt and ground dried chiltepin. For an alcohol-free version (Virgin Mary), omit the vodka and keep everything else.
