This creative concoction plays off of the traditional lime-based margarita by infusing and supplying some refreshing and tasty vegetal elements (along with a nice little spicy kick!).
We start off with a tomato, bell pepper, lime, and cucumber juice base before adding our Crying Tongue Hot Sauce, tequila, and bitters. This cocktail might present like a Bloody Mary, but it is much lighter and refreshing. A+++
