Bloody Good Bloody Mary

Pickle juice is the secret weapon here, delivering briny tartness to make this drink lip-smackingly delicious. We’ve tried pickled okra juice and dill pickle juice—both work well. Bread and butter pickle juice would add a hint of sweetness. The pickle and lemon juice also help thin out the thick tomato juice, so the drink is all the more sippable. For a vegan version, use vegan Worcestershire sauce.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup low-sodium tomato juice
• 1 tablespoon dill or okra pickle juice
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Cholula)
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 ounces vodka
