Bloody Mary

Bold, savoury and wonderfully refreshing, a Bloody Mary brings together tomato juice, vodka, fresh lemon and a little spice. Serve it ice-cold with crisp celery and a lemon wedge, and adjust the heat to make it your own.

  • 1 celery stick, to garnish
  • 1 lemon wedge, to garnish

Method

  1. 1

    Add the vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt and black pepper to a mixing jug.

  2. 2

    Stir gently until combined. Taste and adjust the lemon, hot sauce and seasoning.

Tips

Chill the tomato juice first and start with less hot sauce; you can always add more. Stir gently rather than shaking vigorously. For a Virgin Mary, omit the vodka and add a little extra tomato juice. Worcestershire sauce often contains fish; choose a suitable fish-free version if needed. Contains alcohol: for adults only.
