Food and Recipes Drinks Cocktails Mississippi Bloody Mary Is A Classic With A Kick Be the first to rate & review! If you're going to put a twist on a classic cocktail like the Bloody Mary, you'd better make it special—and we did. We're doing a pepperoncini riff for this drink, aligning it with the popular Mississippi roast that features the tart chili. A splash of pepperonici juice adds tangy, slightly spicy, faintly bitter notes to the usual savory cocktail. Offer it up at your next brunch bar, and impress your guests with the unique option that they'll be surprised they love so much.
