The bloody carrot Maria is a spicy twist on this classic cocktail. Curry infused tequila replaces the vodka in the traditional recipe. The carrot juice adds sweetness to the cocktail without it becoming overwhelming. Add a few splashes of your favorite hot sauce for some added heat.

Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco sauce

** To infuse liquor with tea, just fill a glass container with liquor in the amount that you need for your recipe. One tea bag is enough for up to 8 ounces of liquor. Seal your container with an airtight lid and store it in a dark area. Allow it to infuse for 48-72 hours before removing the tea bag.
