Ingredients
Sartori® Cheese
Jalapeno Ranch Skewers
Customize your skewers by alternating your favorite pickles, olives, salami, and other treats with Jalapeno Ranch cheese bites. (Italian Herb and Montamore 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 Jalapeno 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.

4 cups tomato-based vegetable juice
2 cups white or silver tequila
½ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions
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 Jalapeno Ranch Skewers, lemon or lime wedges, and a slice or two of fresh jalapeno 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.
