We love Bloody Marys year-round, but every January 1st, National Bloody Mary Day, we try a new recipe. This year it’s a fusion Mary: Moscow Mule Mary.

The recipe joins two classic cocktails, Bloody Mary and Moscow Mule, into one easy and delicious cocktail.

The ginger beer of the Moscow Mule Mary makes this Mary lighter, and the Mule’s mint adds another layer of flavor.

The original recipe uses V8 Vegetable Juice. You can substitute tomato juice.

Thanks to Campbell’s for the recipe.

WHAT’S IN V8 VEGETABLE JUICE?

For more than 75 years, Campbell’s V8 vegetable juice has been a bar staple, enhancing drink recipes with bold, crisp vegetable flavor and the added benefit of powerful nutrition.

It’s also a low calorie, nutritious snack, with or without some crudités on the side.

A blend of fresh tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, spinach, and watercress, V8 is loaded with the vitamins and minerals and overflowing with flavor.
