For $10, diners can tackle both a spicy snack and a drink in the Chupacabra bloody mary at The Backyard Grill.

The beverage is mixed with Alamo Red Jalapeno mix and topped with snacks: a bacon-wrapped jalapeno stuffed with pulled pork, a bacon-wrapped shrimp brochette, two jalapeno-stuffed olives, celery, another strip of bacon and a Meemaw’s spicy pickle. 

Most diners attempt the edible elements of their drink first, before moving on to the drink itself, General Manager Kyle Bowen said.

“It can get messy,” he said.
