Virgin Mary Mocktail

Bored of drinking sweet drinks all the time and need a change..then this is for you.This is one flavourful, spicy, savory, and salty drink that you will love to drink to cool down on a hot summer day. This is a nonalcoholic version of Bloody Mary and this can be enjoyed by everyone in the family including kids. The main ingredient in this mocktail is chilled Tomato juice. Tomatoes are a major dietary source of the antioxidant Lycopene and also a great source of Vitamin C, K, potassium, and folate. And hence so good to keep you hydrated along with nutrition in scorching heat. Tomato and celery is a delicious combination and I need not say much about how healthy Celery is!! Even though it is used minimally here...it enhances the flavor of the mocktail. You will need a few ingredients mainly sauces that are easily available in stores. You can make these in batches and store in the Refridgerator and drink it whenever you feel. You can use either Tobasco sauce or Hot

This is a perfect summery drink to be given to kids when they want to quench their thirst as an alternative to Soda. It not only hydrates but also provides Vitamin
