Do you want a spicy breakfast cocktail that will rush your taste buds? This Spicy Bloody Mary combines the power of healthful roots and fruits with the flavors of this savory classic brunch beverage. 

Thanks to those habanero peppers, this version will rev you up to start your day while delivering an intoxicatingly savory flavor! This simple version is a serving for one, allowing you to scale this quickly when making it for a crowd. Leave out the vodka if you want to make this a booze-free affair. This version packs a punch! 

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Honey Free Fire Cider (or flavor of your choice)
• 6 oz Tomato Juice
• 2 Vodka (optional)
• ½ teaspoon Horseradish 
• A dash of Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Lemon wedge

Garnish:

• Chili Lime seasoning: also known as Tajin, you can find this blend at most major grocery stores and Mexican and Latin Food markets. This tomato powder would make a potent rim option as well!
• Celery Stick

Method:

To add the Chili Lime seasoning Rim:  

1. Run a lemon wedge or lemon juice around the rim of a chilled glass. The acid in the juice will help dissolve the salt and stick it to the edge.
2. Put some Chili Lime seasoning into a small shallow bowl or saucer.
3. Put your glass upside down over the bowl and turn it so that the outside rim gets fully coated with salt, then give it a little shake so that any excess falls off.
4. Your glass is ready for your cocktail!

To make your Bloody Mary: 

1. In a shaker filled with ice
2. Add all ingredients to a shaker
3. Shake ingredients well
4. Strain into a glass filled with ice
5. Garnish with a celery stick, if desired. 

Notes: 

Have fun with the garnishes, adding or leaving out any snacks or treats you may want to accompany your Bloody Mary. This garnish guide has plenty of options for all brunch lovers. I'm adding pickles or a slice of bacon in mine. Either way, keep it as simple or playful as you'd like!
