Big Batch Sartori Bloody Maria with Jalapeño Ranch Skewers
This Bloody Maria brings all the flavor of a traditional bloody but swaps tequila for vodka, adds cumin, a good dose of citrus, and fresh cilantro to the mix for a zesty, delicious eye opener. Garnish with hefty Jalapeño Ranch cheese bite skewers and a dusting of chili-lime seasoning on the rims.

Ingredients
Sartori® Cheese
Jalapeño Ranch Skewers
Customize your skewers by alternating your favorite pickles, olives, salami, and other treats with Jalapeño Ranch cheese bites. (Italian Herb and MontAmoré® bites are also delicious here!) For best results use thin skewers. For the best brunch ever - make extra skewers and be sure to serve extra cheese bites on the side – your guests will thank you!
8 thin 8” skewers
8 Sartori Jalapeño Ranch Cheese Bites
Additional bite sized skewer ingredients of choice (pickles, salami cubes, olives, etc.), as desired
1 Working with one cheese bite at a time, remove from wrapper and place flat on a work surface. Cut bite in half to form two half-moons. Cut one of the half-moons in half to form 2 wedges.
2 Thread the cheese bite pieces onto a skewer, alternating with additional ingredients as desired. Repeat with remaining bites and skewers. Cover and chill until use.

½ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Step 1
To prepare the Bloody Maria:
Combine the tomato juice through black pepper and stir well to combine. Stir in the cilantro, cover and chill 2 hours or for best flavor overnight. Stir well and serve over ice with Jalapeño Ranch Skewers, lemon or lime wedges, and a slice or two of fresh jalapeño for kick, if desired.
Step 2
Optional glass garnish: place chili lime seasoning on a small plate; wet rims of glasses with lemon or lime wedge and dip in seasoning, rotating to form a coating on the rim.
Prep time: 15 minutes plus chilling.
