Expert Notes
- If making ahead of time, make the alcohol free bloody mary mix in a pitcher. Times the recipe by 3 to comfortably fill a large pitcher without any possible overflow. Do not add the ice at this time. Set in the refrigerator to chill and let those flavors meld together. Once you're ready to serve, prepare your glasses and pour.
- Don't add the seasonings first, as they could likely stick to the bottom of your shaker glass or pitcher and not incorporate fully. Add them after the tomato juice.
- Get fun with the ice. There are so many different kinds of silicone ice cube trays out there. Check out the tools I use for the kinds I love.
- Between refreshing your drinks, give the tomato juice mix a little stir. The seasonings may settle at the bottom making the top have a watery consistency.
