1celery ribchopped ((reserve extra celery for garnish if desired)
Juice of ½ a lemon
1teaspoonprepared horseradish
1teaspoonvegan Worcestershire sauce(optional)
Icefor serving
Green olives and celery stalksfor garnish (optional)
Instructions
Chill your tomato juice, olive brine, cucumber, lemon juice, and celery in the fridge beforehand for best results.
In a blender or food processor, combine the tomato juice, green olive brine, peeled garlic clove, hot sauce, chopped cucumber, chopped celery rib, lemon juice, horseradish, and vegan Worcestershire sauce (if using).
Blend until completely smooth.
Fill two glasses with ice and pour the blended Virgin Bloody Mary over the ice.
Garnish each glass with green olives on a skewer or celery stalk, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use chilled ingredients: That way, it’s ready to serve immediately after blending, and ultra-refreshing. Vegan bloody marys are best chilled.
Use high-quality tomato juice: I recommend fresh-pressed, when possible, though any high-quality brand will work for the best, richest flavor.
Taste & adjust: Tweak any element for your preferred balance.
Make it ahead of time: I love preparing it the day before, giving the flavors time to meld.
