A Bloody Mary is a classic brunch cocktail made with vodka, tomato juice, and a variety of spices and seasonings. To create a non-alcoholic version, give one of these a try:
Version 1: Original Premium Mary
Ingredients:
- 2 oz tomato juice
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 oz Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 oz horseradish
- Tabasco sauce, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Fill a glass with ice. Add the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, Tabasco sauce, salt, pepper, and celery salt to the glass. Stir well to mix. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Serve with a celery stalk or pickled vegetable for garnish, if desired.
This version of the Bloody Mary has a tangy, savory, and slightly spicy flavor, with a touch of acidity from the lemon juice and a bit of heat from the horseradish and Tabasco sauce.

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with a celery stalk and lemon wedge. Serve and enjoy!
This recipe emphasizes the savory and tangy flavors of the traditional Bloody Mary while elevating it with the sweetness of honey syrup and the brightness of lemon and lime juice.
