Deena Sayers, beverage director at The Stand Restaurant, suggests that even without tomato juice, one can craft a delicious Bloody Mary. By blending yellow and red peppers, celery juice, and beet juice, you create a flavorful alternative that retains the proper acidity. It's crucial to use ripe vegetables for the best taste. Sayers recommends maintaining traditional seasonings like horseradish and Worcestershire sauce to preserve the essence of a classic Bloody Mary, ensuring that the drink remains iconic even without tomatoes.
For a tomato-less Bloody Mary, I'd suggest creating a vegetable juice with a blended mix of yellow and red peppers, celery juice, and beet juice. The balance of the vegetable juice's acidity will be a great alternative when properly strained.
I'd still incorporate some of the base seasonings/flavors even without the tomatoes for the signature and familiar Bloody Mary flavor profile.
Some of those classic flavors include horseradish for that signature kick, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce for heat, celery salt, and black pepper.
