"The Virgin Mary is a brunch classic, mimicking the beloved Bloody Mary without the alcohol. Packed with robust flavours - spicy, savoury and salty - it’s an ideal choice for those seeking a nonalcoholic cocktail. But, if you fancy a kick, feel free to spike it with some vodka!" - Luca Muscato and Marco Salzano

Recipe note: You’ll need 4 highball glasses.
