A Virgin Mary cocktail is one of the classic cocktail alternatives, using similar ingredients to a Bloody Mary - but no vodka. To make one, combine tomato and lemon juice, fill a glass with ice ...

However, this will change the essence of the cocktail from a Bloody Mary to Bloody Maria (tequila), Bloody Bulldog/Red Snapper (gin), Michelada (beer), or a Virgin Mary (no added alcohol).

Alternatively, use the reserved tomato juice to make a quick Bloody Mary: mix the juice with vodka, Worcestershire sauce and a little chilli sauce. Leave out the vodka for a Virgin Mary cocktail.
