Tropical Guaro Bloody Mary

By SippitySup

Guaro is the traditional alcoholic beverage of choice in Costa Rica. Here I use it to replace vodka in a Tropical Bloody Mary.

Ingredients

• 36 ounces tomato juice
• 1 stalk celery with leaves, minced
• 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 lime, juice only
• 1/2 teaspoon Lizano sauce (substitute Worcestershire sauce)
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 12 dashes hot sauce
• 1 1/2 cups guaro
• Stalks of celery as garnish, as needed
• Cilantro sprigs as garnish, to taste
• Lime wedges as garnish, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a blender add 1/4 of the tomato juice, minced celery, horseradish, ginger, lime juice, Lizano sauce, celery salt, sea salt, and hot sauce. Blend to puree well.

Then pour the contents of the blender into a large pitcher. Add the remaining tomato juice and guaro. Chill at least one hour. Serve in tall glasses over ice with a stick of celery sticks, cilantro sprigs, and lime wedges to taste.
