The Bloody Maria replaces the Bloody Mary’s vodka with tequila, keeping the tomato-savory highball intact. Agave character makes the drink warmer and slightly peppery beneath celery salt, hot sauce, and citrus. Served tall over ice, it is a brunch staple and a clear themed variation rather than a separate template. Rolling instead of hard shaking preserves tomato texture.

Bartender's Note
Blanco tequila keeps the drink brighter; reposado adds oak. Adjust hot sauce and salt to taste after the first roll.
