Notes
- To make a virgin Bloody Mary, simply skip the vodka and pour the spicy tomato juice mix over ice. It’s just as delicious and perfect for those who prefer a non-alcoholic version.
- For a briny twist, make a Dirty Bloody Mary by adding a splash of olive juice or pickle juice.
- My go-to seasoning for rimming the glass is Tajín.
- Customize the spice level to your preferred level of heat. Start with a little hot sauce and horseradish, and add more to taste. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out once it’s in!
- Swap the vodka for your favorite tequila and make a Bloody Maria!
- Make-Ahead: The Bloody Mary mix will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Store it in an airtight container or a sealed pitcher to maintain its vibrant taste. Remember to add the vodka just before serving to keep the mix at its best. Give it a good stir before serving, as some ingredients might settle at the bottom.
