Description
The Virgin Mary is proof that a drink doesn’t need a spirit to be complex and satisfying. As the non-alcoholic version of the famous Bloody Mary, it offers the same rich, savory, and spicy flavor experience. The base is a high-quality tomato juice, enhanced with lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and spices. It is the perfect companion for brunch, an excellent hangover cure, or simply a delicious, healthy alternative for any time of day.
Preparation
- Fill a highball glass with ice and stir briefly to chill. Pour out the meltwater.
- Add all ingredients directly into the glass.
- Stir well with a bar spoon to distribute the spices evenly.
- Adjust to taste with more hot sauce, salt, or pepper if desired.
- Garnish elaborately with a fresh celery stalk and a lemon wedge.
