What is Bloody Mary?
It is a classic cocktail born in the 1920s. The combination of vodka and tomato juice became very popular and it’s the most popular brunch cocktail to this day.
The classic bloody mary drink is made with tomato juice, vodka, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, lime juice, celery salt, and some fun garnishes.
Since I don’t drink alcohol, I decided to make the virgin version of classic bloody mary and share it with you guys.
The great thing about this drink is that it’s so full of flavor, it’s so hard to believe that there’s no alcohol! The pickle juice and Worcestershire sauce easily help to distract the palate.
The pickle juice gives a little complexity to the flavor. It gives the similar flavor you’ll get from alcohol.
Why I love this mocktail?
It’s so full of flavor: savory, tangy, spicy, and salty all at once! You’ll hardly believe it’s a mocktail.
It’s the perfect mocktail to make it advance.
You can easily multiply the quantities and serve them in a jug for guests.
It can be enjoyed with any meal or on its own.
Perfect for those who don’t drink alcoholic drinks.
Perfect for any party, BBQs, pool party, or gatherings.

One thing I love about Bloody Mary Mix is that the flavor seems to improve with time. This virgin Bloody Mary tastes delicious right away. But it tastes even better after 1 to 2 hours of chill time, or even better, overnight! As the spices have time to mix and mingle, the flavor becomes more robust.
You can make it in advance up to 1 week. That’s the bonus!
Ingredients required to make this recipe
The ingredients in a virgin Bloody Mary are the same as a regular Bloody Mary minus the vodka.
Tomato juice – I always choose to buy tomato juice at the store instead of making it at home. Make sure you Choose the Right Tomato Juice. When choosing tomato juice, make sure to read the labels. Certain types of tomato juice may contain added sugars. Look for a tomato juice that is with no added sugar. Many cheap tomato juices have unnatural ingredients too. They use preservatives to increase the shelf life. Always use organic tomato juice. My favorite is R.W. Knudsen Organic Tomato Juice.
Pickle juice – I always have a pickle bottle in my fridge. So I have used its juice in this drink. If you don’t have them on hand, you can omit them! The flavor is just as good without. It’s just a touch more fun with it! Or you can use olive brine too.
Hot sauce – I used Tabasco sauce. You can use any. Adjust it according to your taste.
Lemon and lime juice –
Worcestershire sauce – I have used the Vegan version of Worcestershire sauce. Its easily available on Amazon, whole foods, and sprouts. If you are ok with seafood, you may use regular Worcestershire sauce too.
Some spices – Celery Salt and Cayenne Pepper. You can adjust these spices according to your liking. You can omit cayenne pepper if you don’t prefer spicy bloody mary.
Garnishes – You can garnish it however you like it. I like to garnish it with Celery, Pimento stuffed olives, Lemon wedges, and cheese.
