You know we’re fans of tequila here at Sweet July. So, naturally, we prefer Bloody Marias.
Nothing against a classic Bloody Mary, but we like to switch things up from time to time. This recipe calls for swapping out the vodka (traditionally used for Bloody Marys) for tequila. One of the best things about this cocktail is you can have fun with the garnishes and toppings. And if you’re entertaining, set up a garnish bar for folks to deck out their own drinks the way they like it best!
