…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? Well, it’s Super Bowl time. When I have a team in contention, I’m “all in” on it. But alas, not one of my teams is in it this year. The Rams, 49’ers and Chargers are long gone. Even Joan’s Packers didn’t make the cut—and some of the teams came so close—just an overtime away.
 
Oh well, I can drown my sorrows with my Super Bowl Bloody Margarita. This is a cocktail you can start at brunch as it combines the best parts of a Bloody Mary and a Margarita into one modern cocktail—perfect  for a fun Sunday brunch, special fiesta, Cinco de Mayo, and of course, Super Bowl Sunday.
 
If you feel like celebrating Super Bowl all year long or woke up this morning craving a little tequila, this is the drink for you.
 
Prep time:  10 minutes
Yield:  2 servings
 
Ingredients 
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
12 ounces tomato juice
1 cup orange juice
4 ounces white tequila
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons hot sauce (I prefer Cholula)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
 
For the garnish
additional kosher salt
ice cubes
lime slices
jalapeño rings
 
Directions

1. Read the recipe all the way through before starting. Measure all ingredients and have at your side.
2. Prepare two (2) cocktail glasses by wetting the rims and dipping them in a combination of salt and celery salt. Make it look pretty.
3. In a cocktail shaker combine all of the ingredients except for the ice and the garnishes.
4. In a blender, crush the ice until the ice cubes become small particles.
5. Pour the liquid mixture into the blender with the crushed ice.
6. Pulse the blender 2-3 times so the mixture combines with the ice.
7. Pour into two cocktail glasses.
8. Garnish the cocktail. Cheers!

ChefSecret:  This is a great combination of flavors. Margaritas usually include something with an orange citrus flavor, like Grand Marnier. Instead of adding more alcohol, I decided to add orange juice. This will help you stay awake until the game starts.
