Teremana Bloody Maria
About
The Bloody Maria is a gutsier, sun-drenched twist on the classic Bloody Mary - swapping vodka for Teremana Blanco Tequila to bring depth, heat, and unmistakable character. Where the original feels like brunch in New York, this one feels like brunch in Cabo - lively, peppery, and full of attitude.
Tomato juice builds the base, while lemon juice adds brightness and balance. Worcestershire and Mexican hot sauce layer in umami and spice, while a dash of celery salt and cracked pepper give that savory, smoky edge that defines the drink.
It’s rich, refreshing, and unapologetically bold - perfect for morning-after recoveries, leisurely brunches, or any day that calls for a little kick before noon.
Shaken or Stirred? Built and stirred. This one’s all about layering flavors - stirring keeps it smooth and perfectly balanced without dulling the spice.

For one Bloody Maria:
- 2 oz Teremana Blanco
- 4 oz Tomato Juice
- 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 4 dashes Worcestershire Sauce

- Pinch of Celery Salt

Optional Garnish: Lemon wedge, lime wedge, celery stalk, olives, or anything that makes your glass feel like a meal.
Pro Tip: For extra punch, rim your glass with chili salt before pouring - it adds kick and a little crunch to every sip.

The Barsys Edge
The Bloody Maria is all about proportion - too much tomato dulls the heat, too much spice overpowers the tequila. Barsys cocktail machine nails the ratio every time, so you can focus on garnishing like a pro.
Sip Setting
Best enjoyed late morning with good company and zero urgency. It’s the brunch cocktail that makes weekends taste better.
Garnish Game
Go classic with lemon and celery, or turn it into a showstopper - stack olives, bacon, and pickles for the full Bloody Maria moment.

Can I use Reposado instead of Blanco?
Absolutely. It gives the drink a slightly richer, smoky flavor.
Is it very spicy?
You control the heat. Start mild, add more hot sauce if you like it fiery.
Can I batch this for brunch?
Definitely. Mix everything except the ice and garnishes in advance.
What’s the best tomato juice to use?
Go for one with low sodium - it gives you more room to season perfectly.
