Bhut Jolokia Bloody Mary’s

The secret to a killer Bloody Mary or Virgin Mary is lots of ice, a good quality tomato juice and a killer hot sauce. Invented in the 1920’s, while Tabasco is the usual choice, we’re adding an Indian kick with a slug of our Mahi Bhut Jolokia hot sauce.

We have also switched out regular tomato juice for vegetable juice, providing your drink with the same tomato flavour, but with a bit more added depth for an all together more exciting cocktail.
