Estimated nutrition per serving

123Calories1gProtein6gCarbs0gFat0gFiber4gTotal sugarNot reliably estimatedAdded sugar

Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.

Not reliably estimated: Added sugar — Worcestershire sauce does not report added sugar. Other displayed values remain estimates from their cited records.

Calculation assumptions

Counts 1 1/2 ounces 40% vodka, four ounces canned salted tomato juice, half an ounce lemon juice, two Worcestershire dashes, two Tabasco dashes, and pepper. USDA SR Legacy references are used for sauces and juice. Worcestershire added sugar is not separately declared. Ice and celery garnish are excluded.

Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 1 equal serving.

Finished yield: About 6 fl oz before ice dilution.

Estimated alcohol: about 1 U.S. standard drinks. Approximately 98 calories come from ethanol at 7 kcal per gram.

Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.

Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.

Sugar checkTomato contributes natural sugar; Worcestershire may contain added sugar, but the source does not quantify it, so complete added sugar is unavailable.

Easy swaps

Use low-sodium tomato juice if preferred; check its specific label for the changed sodium.
Increase hot sauce a dash at a time for more heat without changing the tomato base.

Mixpert tips

Taste before salting because both tomato juice and Worcestershire already contain salt.
Gentle mixing preserves a smooth tomato texture.

Bloody Mary FAQs

Can I make a Bloody Mary without Worcestershire sauce?

Yes, but the tomato and lemon base will lose some savory depth. Add the hot sauce and black pepper as written, taste, then consider a small amount of another savory seasoning you already use. Check labels if avoiding fish, since Worcestershire formulations vary.

Should I shake a Bloody Mary?

A gentle roll or stir chills it without making tomato juice frothy.

Does this need prepared Bloody Mary mix?

No. Tomato juice, lemon, Worcestershire, and hot sauce create the seasoning from measured ingredients.
