Spicy Pickle Bloody Mary

As an essential brunch beverage for me, the Bloody Mary gets kicked up a notch with this spicy and tangy remix. This isn’t your typical Bloody Mary – it’s a vibrant, savory combo of zesty pickle brine, vibrant tomato, and a hint of heat. I love using Natalie’s Juice because it’s clean and pure—no preservatives, no artificial ingredients, no added sugar, and no GMOs.

Paired with premium vodka, horseradish, and dashes of hot sauce and Worcestershire for added zest and umami, this cocktail has become my new brunch obsession!

If you’re not a fan of spicy drinks, you can customize the Spicy Pickle Bloody Mary to your preferred level of heat by dialing down the amount of hot sauce and horseradish. And no Bloody Mary is complete without a mini meal as a garnish. I used dill, basil, pickles, olives, baby tomatoes, and lemon, but have fun with your favorite garnishes!

Ingredients for the Spicy Pickle Bloody Mary

Natalie’s Tomato Reishi Juice: The earthy, umami-rich base of this Bloody Mary.
Pickle Juice: Provides tangy and salty flavor that sets this cocktail apart. Use whichever brand you prefer, I like garlic dill pickle.
Vodka: Opt for something smooth and high-quality.
Horseradish: A little goes a long way!
Hot Sauce: A few dashes for a kick of heat.
Worcestershire Sauce: This savory, slightly sweet ingredient ties everything together. Soy sauce or balsamic vinegar work here too.
Salt: Just a pinch to enhance all the other flavors.
Dill, Basil, Pickles, Olives, Baby Tomatoes, and Lemon: Any garnish goes here. Try lime, cocktail onions, cheese cubes, or bacon!
