Steps
Puree the red bell pepper and jalapeno until smooth. Press with a spatula through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside. This will make about 6 ounces of juice. The juice will keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator.
Muddle the cilantro leaves with the red bell pepper juice in a shaker.
Add the tequila, juice of 1/2 of a juicy lime, the agave nectar, and sea salt.
Add ice to the cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously.
Strain into an appropriate cocktail glass with ice. Enjoy! (I know you will).

Michelle - Giraffes Can Bake on 2019-04-23 (5 stars): I am so in love with this idea! I've never actually had a bloody mary because the idea of tomato juice grosses me out for some reason.
But this savoury marg, I am all over! It looks delicious and love the flavour combo!
