Tomato Juice
Thick red juice — the Bloody Mary's body.
Juices
Flavor profile: savory
Tomato juice carries a Bloody Mary; the spices and acid do the decorating. Quality matters more than most bartenders admit — Sacramento, RW Knudsen, or bottled San Marzano tomato juice outperform supermarket generics. Some bars press fresh tomato water and build back toward a Bloody from there.
