How to Make the Ave Maria Toma Bloody Maria

The Ave Maria was first featured at the Secret Summer Cocktail Festival in the summer of 2019. This Bloody Maria cocktail is so divine we gave it a heavenly name! It can be made with tequila or mezcal, depending on your preference. The addition of lime juice brightens up the cocktail and the chocolate chili (or mole) bitters add a tremendous depth of flavor that is sweet and savory.
