The classic Bloody Mary with vodka is a brunch menu mainstay, but substitute gin and the cocktail becomes a work of art. Gin‘s botanical complexity transforms an ordinary glass of mixed tomato juice into a refreshing herbal delight. This is the perfect variation for those who want to add some sophistication to the brunch standard.

- 1 1/2 ounce gin
- 3 ounces tomato juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon horseradish

How to Make a Bloody Mary
