Texas Virgin (Non-Alcoholic)

This is the non-alcoholic version of the great Smokin' Texas Mary, a Bloody Mary variation with pickled jalapeno peppers and barbecue sauce. With no alcohol or any other recommendations, you can feel free to garnish at will and up the heat all you like. 

For this one, I chose Jack Daniel's barbecue sauce to give it that smoke, and the woody taste I like from their whiskey. Finding whole pickled jalapenos is harder than it sounds, but using a bunch of sliced ones fits the bill. Then I rimmed the glass with barbecue salt rub that usually goes on pork in the slow cooker. 

• 1 oz. lime juice
• 1 oz. barbecue sauce (Jack Daniel's used)
• Tabasco sauce to taste
• 3-5 dashes Worcestershire sauce 
• ground pepper
• tomato juice
• pickled jalapeno pepper
• lime slice

Combine all ingredients except jalapeno and lime slice in a shaker with ice. Shake and pour into a highball glass. Garnish with jalapeno and lime slice.
