You may not know that the Bloody Mary has a cousin: This version, based on Tequila, is called a Bloody Maria. We took the smokier route, using Mezcal and hitting it with some chipotle pepper puree.

Crafting a great cocktail is an art and a science. Still, it's not difficult to follow a good recipe. Whether you're just getting started, or are a veteran in the exploring of flavors, this is going to be a breeze - and you might learn something along the way!
One tip we can give has to do with your ingredients. Picking the right tequila or mezcal is the first step: do your research, find the brand that ticks all the boxes for what you enjoy.
But the rest of the cocktail components are equally important. Try to find fresh, high quality, possibly local fruit, spices, juice, et cetera. This might seem trivial, but you'll notice the difference if you go from boxed lime juice to juicing your own limes.
Time to mix your very own Bloody Maria! Grab a mixing container, and add your ingredients. Shake/mix to combine. Some will tell you that the manner in which you mix makes a difference. If that is true, it is definitely not noticeable - do what feels right for you.
Once ready, serve the Bloody Maria on ice. Keeping the spirit of the bloody mary family, rim your glass with lime juice and Cow Cover Hot.
Garnish however you like - then enjoy your Bloody Maria, before making another one...

These Deviled Eggs with Honey Killer Bee Crispy Bacon take a classic appetizer and give it a serious BBQ twist. Creamy, rich egg yolk filling gets mixed with mayonnaise, yellow mustard, finely chopped dill pickles, red onion, and Kosmos Q Dirty Bird Rub for a thick, flavor-packed bite.
This Creamed Corn takes sweet corn and turns it into a rich, creamy side dish packed with buttery flavor and a savory kick from Kosmos Q Double Pepper Cow Cover. Fresh or frozen corn simmers in heavy cream, cream cheese, and butter before getting finished with Parmesan for an extra layer of cheesy goodness.
This Fire Roasted Salsa Verde takes fresh tomatillos, jalapeños, poblanos, onion, and garlic and turns them into a smoky, flavor-packed salsa that's perfect for just about anything. Everything gets tossed with olive oil and Kosmos Q Garlic Jalapeño Rub, then roasted over high heat until blistered, tender, and lightly charred.
Everyone wishes that they could have award-winning competition BBQ at their backyard barbecue parties. With Kosmo's BBQ, that's exactly what you'll have, every time.
