Description

If you love the classic Bloody Mary but want something heartier and richer, the Bloody Molly is your go-to. Swapping vodka for Irish whiskey gives this brunch favourite a smooth, warm depth, while retaining the tangy, spicy profile. Perfect for slow weekend brunches, St. Patrick’s Day, or shaking off a rough morning. It’s easy to make, elegant to serve, and big on flavour.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prep your glass & garnish

    Chill a tall highball glass by placing it in the fridge or filling with ice and discarding it. Prepare your garnishes: celery stalk, lemon wedge, olives.

     

  1. Mix the drink

    In a cocktail shaker, combine Irish whiskey, tomato juice, celery salt, ground black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and ice.

     

  1. Shake or stir

    Shake lightly (just to combine and chill) or stir if you prefer a less “worked” drink so you don’t bruise the tomato juice flavour.

     

  1. Serve

    Pour into ice-filled highball glass. Garnish with your celery stalk, olive(s), and a squeeze or wedge of lemon. Optionally, rim the glass with salt & pepper or Bloody Mary rim seasoning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Q: Can I make this non-alcoholic / mocktail version?

A: Yes. Replace the Irish whiskey with a non-alcoholic whiskey substitute or a smoky tea infusion. You’ll lose some warmth, but the spice & tomato base still gives it character.

 

Q: How spicy is it? Can I adjust the heat?

A: It’s moderately spicy (due to Tabasco & pepper). You can reduce Tabasco or skip it, or add more to taste.

 

Q: Will it get too salty?

A: The celery salt & Worcestershire sauce add saltiness. Taste before serving and adjust. Also, rimmed salt isn’t mandatory.

 

Q: Best tomato juice to use?

A: Use a high-quality, thick tomato juice — smoother and fresher is better. Optionally a homemade Bloody Mary mix works great if you're serving more.

 

Q: Can I batch-make for a larger group?

A: Definitely. Multiply the ingredients (except garnish) and mix in a pitcher. Add ice when serving to keep it chilled.
