Virgin Bloody Mary Recipe V8

This virgin Bloody Mary recipe is a favorite drink of mine. Not only is it a great way to get your vegetable intake it, it is also incredibly delicious.
Nothing makes a brunch better than having a perfect bloody Mary. This recipe is super easy and super popular. It is even better with some salt on the rim of the glass.

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces V8 juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon horseradish
  • 1/2 garlic clove (optional)
  • 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges
  • dash of hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder or tajin

Instructions

  • Start by blending fresh tomatoes (or just add the tomato juice here if using canned), cucumbers, shallot and chili that have been roughly chopped
  • Puree until smooth, about 1-2 minutes
  • Put your V8 juice in a large pitcher then add a dash of hot sauce, horseradish, gluten-free soy sauce and Worcestershire and stir well
  • Finish adding the thyme, onion powder and black pepper to the tomato puree and stir again
  • On a plate, combine 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. chili powder
  • Refrigerate the tomato mixture for 1-2 hours or until nice and cold
  • Rim the cups you are using with fresh lemon juice then dip into chili salt
  • Add ice cubes and pour tomato mixture over top
  • Garnish each cup with your favorite garnishes. I highly recommend celery, bacon, green olive, fresh cucumber and a pickle. 

Notes

How to store the leftovers

You can store the leftovers in the fridge for 3-5 days. A fun thing is that the flavor actually gets better over time. When it sits in the fridge, the flavors mix together and it is divine. Sometimes I will make the drink and let it sit in the fridge for a day or two before drinking it.
Top tip: For a spicer drink, add a bit more of the chili powder.
