Saltwater Bloody Mary

May, 2018

Everyone has their secret recipe for a Bloody Mary, and yours will soon be this one, featuring José Andrés Tomate Frito and Cockles. The savory tomato sauce is the perfect base for adding flavor without weighing down the drink, and the cockles are a tender, flavorful finish that give it a taste of the sea.
