Spanish Bloody Mary
Punchy, smoky and so refreshing, this Spanish-inspired Blood Mary is spiked with Saltworks Property’s Smoked Sea Salt Vodka. If you own a juicer, this is the time to use it! Juicing super-ripe, heavy red tomatoes creates a light, but intensely flavored tomato juice without the thickness of the bottled variety. Alternatively, you can purée peak-season tomatoes in a blender and strain through a fine mesh sieve. It’s worth the extra step - the fresh tomato juice allows the naturally smoky notes of the vodka to come through more.
