This Virgin Bloody Mary mocktail is a party in a glass that can be enjoyed any time of the day and allows refills without limit! A delicious non-alcoholic version of the classic brunch cocktail drink made with a combination of fresh vegetables, lemon and tomato juice, vegan Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and the freshest olives from our friends at California Ripe Olives. The perfect vodka-less aperitif fit for any occasion.
Bloody Mary is a fiery drink that has regularly been a part of late-morning menus for years. This recipe is an alcohol-free version of Bloody Mary, also known as a glass of Virgin Mary. It has all the flavors you would expect from its original version but is kid-friendly and so delicious! Back in the day, Bloody Mary was just a drink with vodka and tomato juice mixed together. The cocktail has evolved since then with different versions made, including this mocktail. But it is distinctive for its spicy, savory, tangy, and salty flavor combo.
Our version of this drink is super flavorful and does not need vodka for you to enjoy! The fresh vegetables blended with tomato juice and vegan Worcestershire sauce create a savory drink with a tinge of tanginess from the lemon juice and a delightful zing from the hot sauce. Make it in just 10 just minutes using only a blender or food processor. It is perfect as a chilled beverage to help you feel rejuvenated after a fun night of drinking or if you simply want to enjoy a delightfully rich glass as a refreshment.
Despite the fact that this is derived from an alcoholic drink, it is undoubtedly a very refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed by everyone. There is a reason why it is a popular midday drink! Also, the brine from the California Ripe Olives are full of electrolytes and the cucumber filled with water help in rehydration and balances acidity. This restorative beverage is also full of vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin A and contains very little sugar.
Making this lovely mocktail from home couldn't be easier. Plus, it is so adaptable that you can just change the quantities to make it the way you like it!
There is really nothing much to do to make this vegetable-based drink. Here's how you do it:
Absolutely! One of my favorite things about this mixed drink is how the flavor improves over time. This refreshment tastes incredibly good after making it. However, chilling it for a few hours or even overnight in the fridge will allow the flavors to build up. It becomes more intensely rich as the spices have more time to mix and blend.
This drink is best served poured over lots of ice in a glass with a salted rim. To do so, rub a small piece of lime around the outside of the glass. Dip the rim of the glass in a salt saucer gently. I garnished it with the freshes California Ripe Olives in cocktail picks or skewers and celery stalks. Other options for garnishing may include pickled veggies, lemon wedges, and cocktail onions.
