This low carb bloody mary is made with fresh and simple ingredients. Perfect for a lazy morning or a fun brunch with friends and family.
I’ll admit, I used to think that a bloody mary was an “old person” drink. I guess I just never knew why anyone would want to drink vegetables at all let alone in the morning. It kind of creeped me out.
As I got older and even when I realized it was ALCOHOL that the adults liked, I started to understand more.
I never really preferred them as a drink of choice, but I can definitely appreciate them as a mocktail. Its similar to drinking a master cleanse or something. The heat and the acidity is something I’ve grown to enjoy!
