For a completely unique and truly Southwest take on a brunch cocktail, Firebirds Chile Co's Roasted Chile Verde Maria cocktail mix is a must try.  They start with in-house flame roasted tomatillos and combine them with flame roasted anaheim chiles, flame roasted poblano chiles, and flame roasted jalapenos.  Like the Bloody Maria mix, it's lightened mix up with a combination of fresh ingredients including onions, garlic, cucumber, and fresh lime juice.

While tequila is a favorite, it's also fantastic with vodka, gin, or an ice cold cerveza as a michelada.  Finish with a squeeze of lime.

Ingredients:  Cucumber water, roasted tomatillos, roasted poblano chiles, roasted anaheim chiles, roasted jalapenos, red onion, lime juice, horseradish, ginger, garlic, cider vinegar, salt, spices.
