Bloody Maria
Bloody Maria
Chef/Owner of Toloache in New York City, Julian Medina’s Mexican cuisine is renowned—and this version of the Bloody Mary gets an interesting twist, a Oaxacan dried grasshopper salted rim. This Mexican version of a Bloody Mary uses many of the same ingredients that came be used to make an authentic Mexican mole—chile de arbol, lime juice, onion, hot sauce and sangrita—but kicked up a notch. The cocktail comes together when it is garnished with Chapulines salt rim, a combination of sea salt and Oxacan-dried Grasshoppers.
