Note

Storage: Store leftover marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors may intensify overnight.

Variations: For a hotter kick, use jalape&# 195;±os instead of mild green chiles or add a dash of hot sauce.

Tip: If using as a marinade, marinate meats for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours for best results. Do not reuse marinade that has touched raw meat unless boiled first.

Substitution: If Bloody Mary mix is unavailable, you can substitute with vegetable juice mixed with a bit of Worcestershire sauce (check for vegan compatibility) and a pinch of celery salt.
