Spicy Bloody Marys

Last Updated May 16th, 2022 at 04:12 pm by Lisa

Bloody Marys with a homemade mix of fire-grilled green chiles (jalapeno, Anaheim, or Hatch Chiles) fresh garden tomatoes, onions, horseradish, and spices.

After serving these to dear friends in the desert one morning, they loved the spicy, fresh clean taste of homemade bloody marys. One of my friends said, "You know I have never really liked bloody marys until now!"

Serve these drinks for brunch and game days. After tasting these bloody marys, you will never want the bottled mix again...

How To Make Homemade Spicy Bloody Marys

• 8 small tomatoes (plum tomato size)
• 1 small onion quartered
• 2 tablespoons green chiles use canned or roasted chopped jalapeno, Hatch Green Chiles, or Anaheim chiles.
• 4 celery ribs
• ½ fresh lemon juiced
• 1 tablespoon horseradish
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
• ½ onion powder
• ½ garlic powder
• 1 cup Ice
• 1 ½ cups (4-6 shots) Vodka

1. Preheat outdoor grill or indoor cast iron grill plate on the stove.
2. Place whole green chiles, tomatoes, and onion quarters on the hot grill.
3. Grill for 10-15 minutes until tomatoes, chiles, onion, are roasted with black marks. The grilling really enhances the flavors of the mix.
4. Let your green chiles, tomatoes, and onions cool, then place in a high-speed blender. Add celery ribs, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, ice, and vodka.
5. Puree in a high-speed blender. Optional: strain the bloody mary mix through a mesh strainer to remove the tiny bits of tomato peel.

How To Rim A Bloody Mary Glass and Serve

• Place hot sauce (like Cholula) on a small plate.
• Put your salt like Lawry's season salt, celery salt, black lava salt, or homemade sriracha salt on a small plate.
• Dip the rim of your glass into hot sauce, next dip into the salt of your choice.
• Pour ice in your rimmed glass, bloody mary into glasses, and garnish as you wish.

What Green Chiles Can I Use For This Recipe?

• Jalapenos (fresh- be sure to fire-grill them for extra flavor) canned is fine too!
• Chipotle In Adobo Sauce (dried and smoked jalapenos in a can)
• Anaheim Chiles (fresh and again, be sure to fire-grill)
• Hatch Chiles (if using fresh see below how to grill step by step)

Fresh Hatch Chiles must be roasted to bring out their special flavor and taste and to remove their tough outer skins.

Chile Roasting/Grilling Tips

1. In a large bowl, rinse your chiles in cool water.
2. Heat your grill on medium high, place your stainless grill tray over the burner. It isn't necessary, you can grill the chiles right on the grill grate but helps to roast them more evenly. 
3. Space the chiles in a single layer, and turn using long tongs until black char blisters form on each side of the chiles. 
4. Note: Hatch chiles have a tough skin that must be removed.
