Chosen Blood Bloody Mary
The Chosen Blood Bloody Mary is a striking cocktail that combines the classic elements of a Bloody Mary with a unique twist, inspired by the world of vampires and New Orleans. The beet juice adds a deeper red color, symbolizing the Chosen Blood, and imparts a slightly sweet, earthy flavor that complements the spicy, savory notes of the drink. The garlic and black pepper-infused vodka adds an extra layer of complexity and a hint of the supernatural.
Ingredients:
• 2 oz vodka (infused with garlic and black pepper)
• 4 oz tomato juice (preferably homemade or high-quality)
• 1 oz fresh beet juice (for a richer, blood-red color and earthy flavor)
• 1/2 oz lemon juice
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 3 dashes hot sauce (like Tabasco)
• 1/4 tsp horseradish
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Pinch of celery salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• Pinch of sea salt
Garnish:
• Celery stalk with leaves
• Lemon and lime wedges
• Pickled green bean or asparagus
• Stuffed olive
• Mini skewer of cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls
• Fresh basil leaf
Instructions:
1. Infuse Vodka: Prepare the vodka by infusing it with garlic and black pepper. To do this, add 2-3 peeled garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns to a bottle of vodka. Let it sit for at least 24 hours (up to a week for a stronger infusion), then strain the vodka to remove the solids.
2. Prepare the Glass: Rub a lemon or lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass, then dip the rim into a mixture of sea salt and smoked paprika.
3. Mix the Drink: In a shaker or mixing glass, combine the infused vodka, tomato juice, beet juice, lemon juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, smoked paprika, celery salt, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir well to combine.
4. Fill the Glass: Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes, then pour the Bloody Mary mixture over the ice.
5. Garnish: Garnish with a celery stalk, lemon and lime wedges, pickled green bean or asparagus, stuffed olive, and a mini skewer of cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls. Add a fresh basil leaf for a fragrant touch.
6. Serve: Serve immediately, stirring slightly to keep the flavors well mixed.

About the Book:
I’m now a captive in a world I never knew existed, caught in a tangled web of ancient feuds and dangerous desires.
He claims that I have the power to save his people by reigniting a dying magical stone.
He’s delusional. I have no powers, but if I try to escape, he’ll start by killing my best friend and move to everyone I’ve ever loved.
As if that is not bad enough, the bodies of murdered women who look just like me keep turning up in the French Quarter.
Someone is framing him. That same person is hunting me.
Angelo’s the only man that I’ve ever trusted to protect me, but he’s a temptation that could lead to my ruin.
While his heart may be cold as his ice, the seductive vampire king sets my soul on fire. In this twisted game of blood and darkness, nothing is as it seems…except the intensity of our passion.
