Roll the drink between two tins instead of shaking it. A hard shake whips air into the thick tomato juice and thins it out; rolling it back and forth over ice chills it while keeping the body rich and heavy.

The Ingredients — and where to get them
Cook for1drink
Our ratio, your call. The amounts below are a tested starting point — a version, not the one and only. Anything tagged to taste is the knob you turn: start there, then make it yours.
Tomato juice
A thick, low-sodium juice makes the cleanest base. A pressed craft tomato juice is worlds better.
You can batch the mix and keep it cold, but add the ice, soda, and garnish and shake or stir to order — a made-up drink goes flat and watery if it sits.
Is Bloody Mary gluten-free? — Yes
Yes — nothing in this recipe as written contains gluten. As always, glance at the labels on any packaged items (broth, sauces, chocolate), since brands vary.
Is Bloody Mary vegan? — No
No — it contains seafood, so it isn’t vegetarian or vegan.
