Zesty Shrimp Catastrophe Cocktail with a Kick!
Kickin' Bloody Mary
There's no denying it - some folks simply adore the Bloody Mary, while others could take it or leave it. But for the enthusiasts, this version will blow your mind (or so to speak). Here's how you take a traditional Bloody Mary and rant it up a notch. Grab yourself some Picante Calamato Tomato Cocktail as the mixer, toss in some shrimps, give it a good squeeze of fresh lime, sprinkle in some dried red chili pepper, and of course, don't forget the Worcestershire sauce - that's the trick, my friend.
