Cocktail Colin says:
The Virgin Mary masterfully layers the tart brightness of lemon juice with the robust, savory depths of tomato juice, creating a gracefully balanced non-alcoholic option. The added piquancy of Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces injects a delightful spiciness that complements the freshness of the base, rounded off perfectly by a simple pinch of salt and pepper for a complex, yet accessible taste profile.
