Sippin Gypsy Bloody Maria

Tequila and heat pair so nicely together.  This cocktail was the first sip I had when I landed in New Orleans at 9 in the morning.  Cheers Sippin Gypsy Team Tequila!

1 1/2oz. Tequila
4oz. Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix
Hellfire Bitters to taste (I use 3 viles of  Bittermens Hellfire Habanero Shrub)
1 lemon wedge
1 celery stalk
1 slice of cooked thick cut peppered bacon
Himalayan salt (for the rim)


Add Tequila, Zing Zang, Bitters and lemon wedge in a tin on ice and shake until the tin is cold.  Pour into your favorite tall glass rimmed with Himalayan salt and garnish with celery stalk and bacon slice.
