Instructions

Start by filling your shaker (or jar) with ice. Pour in the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a couple of drops of hot sauce.

Strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Finally, add the celery stick as a garnish, and your drink is ready! 🎉

If you’re not a fan of tomato juice, try carrot juice. It has a sweet and earthy flavor. Plus, it’s packed with vitamins!

Lemon juice can be swapped with lime juice for a tangy twist. 🍋

For those who don’t like celery salt, use regular salt with some black pepper. It’s a subtle change you might enjoy.

If hot sauce is too spicy, use a dash of Tabasco sauce or even just a bit of paprika for a milder heat. 🌶️

No Worcestershire sauce? Try using soy sauce for a similar savory kick.

Tips & Tricks

When making the Bloody Elixir Mocktail, I find using fresh ingredients is key. Fresh tomatoes have a richer flavor than canned juice, trust me! 🍅 If you have time, blending some ripe tomatoes can make a huge difference.

I also love adding a pinch of celery salt for that extra kick. This tiny sprinkle transforms the whole drink. If you’re feeling adventurous, try some smoked paprika. It gives a warm, smoky taste that’s super inviting.

Here’s a little secret: Chilling your glass beforehand keeps the mocktail cold longer. 🧊 Just pop the glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring the drink. It makes a big difference, especially on hot days.

For a special touch, I always make sure to use fun garnishes. A celery stalk, sliced olives, or even a pickle spear can elevate the drink. Don’t be shy with your garnishes—get creative and make it your own!

Here’s one more tip: Experiment with your favorite hot sauce. Start with a few drops and adjust to your taste. I particularly enjoy a bit of Tabasco for some heat. 🌶️ Remember, it’s all about personal preference, so feel free to swap or skip ingredients.
