ZorroZ Bloody Mary Mix is a Flavor Treat

March 6, 2016 — Bloddy Mary Mix, creativity, farmers markets, Old Town Scottsdale, Zorroz

I had a wonderful shopping day yesterday that included the Old Town Farmers’ Market in Scottsdale as well as the Greek Orthodox monastery in  Florence, AZ.  Tasting all the samples at that wonderful Saturday morning market challenges one to pick favorites because there are so many delicious choices.  Since I had a long drive I limited myself to products that would have no problem staying in the car for a while on a warm day. One such product is ZorroZ Bloody Mary Mix.  I tasted it and loved the complex flavor.  I could honestly just drink it straight up, but Fran Rons, the creator of the magical elixir, provides a card with recipes to spark new ideas for using this tasty liquid party in a bottle.  I must try it in sloppy Joes because those are a favorite at our house, much more than Bloody Marys themselves.  I also like his meatball recipe which I plan to knock off with a vegetarian nut loaf.  Once the bottle is open I know I will be trying it in many ways.  Guacamole is another suggestion Fran makes that sounds like a very good idea.

Today is Sunday, and I know that Bloody Mary is the official cocktail of Sunday morning for many people.  I have lemons from our tree, some fabulous jalapeño stuffed olives and some celery for the garnish.  My own preferred version is actually a red snapper, made with gin.  Bob is in the garden working and I have been packing up some home made sauerkraut, making a big mess in the kitchen.  We will wait until afternoon to savor our new cocktail mix, using it as a reward for finishing our respective tasks.  As I write this post my mouth is beginning to water thinking about it. Are you a Bloody Mary fan, gentle reader?  If you are I am recommending this excellent product to bring your cocktail to a new level of excitement. Cheers!!
