The Bloody Mary Mocktail Kit and Food Pairings
Written by Amani Ali
A Bloody Mary is a classic cocktail made with tomato juice, hot sauce, and garnished with pickles, which makes this the perfect drink to remix Chef Sarah’s way. The Bloody Mary mocktail kit contains all the artisanal flavorings you need to craft two Bloody Marys. Add a can of tomato juice to complete your mocktail.
Packed with acid and a little bit of heat, this well-seasoned savory snack-in-a-glass is a great treat to round out a decadent brunch.
After trying her bloody mary, Chef Sarah asked me to create my own. This is my version of a bloody mary using CSG products. I paired mine with a veggie burger topped with arugula, tomato, and avocado. On the avocado, I added a couple of dashes of the Dill Pickle Hot Sauce and Cajun Salt before assembling the sandwich.
Featuring:
Dill Pickle Hot Sauce: More flavorful than spicy and distinctly reminiscent of pickle brine. It tastes like a spicy pickle.
Cajun Salt: Chef Sarah’s cajun spice blend and salt.
Chef Sarah Germany pickles: Vegetables pickled in white vinegar pickle brine and spices. The coriander and bay leaves are home-grown!
Blended Bloody Mary
Ingredients
1 cup ice
1 cup tomato soup (can substitute tomato juice but soup will make a thicker and creamier mocktail)
1 oz (30ml) bloody mary base (Demitri’s Bloody Mary seasoning)
5-10 dashes of Chef Sarah Germany's Dill Pickle Hot Sauce
Handful of arugula
1 lime wedge
Steps
Throw all the ingredients in a blender, except for the lime, and blend until smooth
Rim a pint glass with Cajun Salt (use a lime wedge to wet the rim then roll the rim in the salt)
Sprinkle a pinch of Cajun Salt into the glass on top of the mocktail
Garnish with pickles on a drink skewer
Serve the drink with a burger, side of fries, and extra pickles and you'll be plenty satisfied.
Nutrition Nook: Dill
This ancient plant native to North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, known for its thin wispy leaves and pungent smell, is now cultivated for worldwide for floral and culinary purposes. It is high in minerals such as manganese, potassium, iron, and magnesium which are good for bone health.
Bonus Recipe
I used tomato soup in the recipe because it’s what I had on hand. For lunch the next day, I topped up my store-bought tomato soup with smoked paprika and a couple of chopped smoked carrot pickles (they’re so good you’ll be saying “wow”). Remember that getting creative with your leftovers helps prevent food waste!
