One of our favorite things about running Alchemy of Food is seeing how customers use our products in ways we never imagined.
We’ve drizzled it on ribs. Glazed grilled chicken. Brushed it over roasted vegetables. Even paired it with pizza.
But recently, a customer stopped us in our tracks with a suggestion so brilliant, we immediately had to try it.
Use Chipotle Maple BBQ to rim a Bloody Mary glass.
And just like that, brunch changed forever.
The Bloody Mary Glow-Up
If you’ve ever had a Bloody Mary, you know the magic is all about balance.
Savory tomato.
Bright citrus.
A little heat.
A touch of salt.
The garnish tower that somehow doubles as breakfast.
Our Chipotle Maple BBQ adds something unexpected: a smoky-sweet finish that transforms every sip.
Instead of the traditional lemon wedge and celery salt, brush the rim of your glass with Chipotle Maple BBQ, then dip it into your favorite seasoning blend.
The result?
Sweet maple upfront.
Smoky chipotle in the middle.
A subtle lingering heat that complements the cocktail without overpowering it.
It’s brunch with personality.
How to Make It
You’ll Need:
- 1 tablespoon Alchemy of Food Chipotle Maple BBQ
- Bloody Mary seasoning or celery salt
- 1 prepared Bloody Mary
- Lime wedge
- Your favorite garnishes
Directions:
- Spread a thin layer of Chipotle Maple BBQ onto a small plate.
- Pour your seasoning blend onto another plate.
- Dip the rim of the glass into the BBQ sauce.
- Roll the coated rim through the seasoning.
- Fill the glass with your favorite Bloody Mary mixture.
- Garnish generously and serve.
Why It Works
Chipotle Maple BBQ wasn’t designed to be one-dimensional.
The maple provides a rich sweetness.
The chipotle brings gentle smoke and warmth.
The spices build complexity.
That layered flavor profile plays beautifully against the acidity and savory depth of a Bloody Mary.
It’s the kind of unexpected pairing that reminds us that cooking isn’t just about recipes.
It’s about curiosity.
The Best Ideas Come From You
As founders, we spend countless hours developing products and dreaming about how they’ll be enjoyed.
But sometimes the best ideas don’t come from the kitchen.
They come from customers willing to experiment.
So, to the customer who introduced us to the BBQ-rimmed Bloody Mary:
Thank you.
You made brunch a little more magical.
And if you’ve discovered an unexpected way to use our sauces, we’d love to hear about it.
Because the next great idea might just come from you.
Cheers to real ingredients, bold flavors, and the people who inspire us every day.
