The Virgin Mary is a Bloody Mary without the vodka: spicy, savoury tomato juice with lemon, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and celery. Brunch in a glass.

Ingredients

  • 150ml tomato juice
  • 15ml fresh lemon juice
  • 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce (check the label if you need it vegetarian)
  • 2-3 dashes hot sauce
  • Pinch of celery salt and black pepper
  • Ice
  • Celery stick and lemon wedge, to garnish

Method

  1. Mix: Add everything except the garnish to a jug or shaker with ice.
  2. Roll: Gently pour it back and forth between two glasses or tins to mix without frothing the tomato.
  3. Serve: Pour into a tall glass with fresh ice and garnish with celery and lemon.

Tips for the Perfect Virgin Mary

  • A little horseradish adds heat and depth.
  • Season boldly: without vodka, the spices do all the work.
  • Try clamato juice for a Virgin Caesar.

Good to Know

Most Worcestershire sauces contain anchovies, so use a vegetarian version if needed.
