Venomous Miami Mary

Spicy Bloody Mary

The society consulted food and beverage connoisseur, Miguel Hernandez of Viceroy Miami for this fiery recipe. The unique drink got its name and flavor from Venom Salt, a blend of all-natural sea salt and Trinidad Scorpion Pepper. But be warned! This Mary boasts more than just a bite.

This blend of all-natural sea salt and Trinidad (one of my first cities working as Hotelier) Scorpion Pepper boasts more than just a bite … a little pinch leaves a lasting sting! Add it to any cocktail, like a Bloody Mary, for a fiery kick, but consider yourself warned!
