Very tasty!  Made for a brunch, placed extra spices and pepper sauce on side for those who enjoy a spicier drink but all were very happy with the drink as is.  Lots of room to “play” with this very good basic mix.

I thought this recipe was really great.  I like spicy so next time will add more of the ingredients to the tomato juice.
Brandy Dean
Made this for a Super Bowl party since a friend and I are both pregnant. So good!
Audrey Porter
This is not only so delicious but so healthy and low in calorie too. Yummy!

Ina, this is wonderful…love the horseradish. Acemovr, I think it’s less intolerance than shock at Barbara’s naivete and over-reaction, and frankly, yours as well. And there was certainly no need to rudely yell in caps. You both saw the words “virgin mary” and assumed they referenced the Mother of Jesus, which, I hope you realize by now, is a mistaken assumption. If you search on Wikipedia, you can see there are several regarded sources for the name of this drink, none of which, refers to the Mother of Jesus.

Hey, I’m a Roman Catholic. I work as a receptionist in the church office. We all know what a virgin mary is, for heaven’s sake! Come On, Barbara! It’s a Bloody Mary W/O alchohol. And this recipe is luscious! NOT ALL VIRGINS ARE NAMED MARY, NOT ALL MARYS ARE VIRGINS!

Get a life I thought everyone knew what a “virgin” drink meant. I don’t think it is going to be a huge blow to (in fact not even a small blow) that you will no longer be watching her show. The recipe was great as usual coming from Ina
Christopher Adams
These are PERFECT, with and without vodka. No need to salt the glass rim. I’d suggest removing the celery strings and don’t bother chopping the shallot, let the blender do that work for you.

any coctail that has no alcohol in it is good so I’m for it…

I am a HUGE bloody mary drinker, and I felt like this recipe was just average.
I followed the recipe exactly, but it just was missing something. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it just really didn’t do much for me.
