Virgin Mary

Virgin Mary

Glassware: Highball
Method: Build in Glass

Ingredients: NOTE: This is a NON Alcoholic Drink
Fill with Bloody Mary Mix (which is alcohol free by default)((Bloody Mary Mix[Usually bars use a commercial mix nowadays, or make quarts (or gallons if they’re busy enough) – Click here for my Bloody Drink Mix by the Quart Recipes] )) (ingredient list below)

  • 1 glass of Tomato juice
  • 2 drops Tabasco,
  • Pinch of Horseradish (Traditional – ask customer) 
  • Tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce 
  • Salt (or Celery Salt) & Pepper to taste((Salt and Pepper are always best when freshly ground. Small grinders are available cheaply everywhere. Himalayan Pink Sea Salt is one of my favorites. I suspect celery seeds can also be added to the grinder (either a separate salt grinder, or just in a separate grinder by themselves so customers who don’t like celery can still have fresh sea salt) for a fresh burst of celery flavor.)) (one or two shakes each)

Garnish: Celery Stalk*, squeezable lime (or lemon) wedge, Cherry Tomato* – *If Available((Garnishes have grown obscenely ridiculous in many places (turning a Bloody Mary into an entire meal). These outrageously flamboyant “garnishes” are a gimmick / trademark / must experience / loss leader (loses the bar money but leads them in the door to try other more profitable things. Shrimp has been used to garnish Virgin and Bloody Mary’s for a long time, as have Celery Stalks, and often a Cherry Tomato where available, along with a squeezable wedge of fresh lime or lemon.))
