Bloody Mary with Tequila

[JenBoes]

I have been designated the bloody mary maker for a holiday brunch this Saturday. The hostess has asked that I come up with a mix that incorporates Patron tequila instead of vodka (apparently this is the spirit of choice among some of the guests). I've never made bloody marys with tequila. Any suggestions?

Patron is way to nice a tequila to be putting it in a bloddy maria. You should certainly use a cheaper tequila for this.

well its certainly way too *expensive* to use in bloodly marys. I would go with budget 100% agave like cazadores or hornitos

Good advice. I wasn't buying the spirits anyway - I just had to make the mix. After all that, the party hostess used vodka and a pre-made mix which was actually really good. I saved all my ingredients though and will make Bloody Marias over the holidays (not with Patron).

Bloody Marias are pretty popular and well-known. I'd follow a standard Bloody recipe, maybe add some jalapeno and orange, and kick up the lime. Be advised that the Patron's flavor will be demolished by the spices/juices. You could definitely use a cheaper 100% agave.
