Virgin Bloody Mary Recipe
The Virgin Mary, also known as the Bloody Virgin, Virgin Bloody Mary, or Bloody Shame, is a non-alcohol version of the Bloody Mary cocktail. It uses the same ingredients and garnishes as a traditional Bloody Mary, but instead of vodka, it contains added tomato juice or a ready-made mix. This makes it a refreshing and delicious drink without any alcohol. Enjoy the bold taste of a Bloody Mary without the spirits.
