Could there be a more perfect version of a fall and winter bloody mary than a beet bloody mary? While tomatillo and heirloom bloody marys are best enjoyed during the spring and summer months, a beet bloody mary is a healthy & hearty get your juices flowing, warm you up, type of bloody mary.
This was my first attempt at a beet bloody mary recipe at home and I cannot believe it took me so long to whip up one of these! Not to toot my own horn but I found this recipe to be exquisite. So good you’ll want to drink it every day, even without the vodka! This is how you make a beet bloody mary…..
Using all fresh ingredients (except the vegetable juice) for the mix and garnish that you can find in the fall and winter months, this beet bloody mary recipe is packed with minerals and vitamins and gives you a daily dose of vegetables!
For the Beet Bloody Mary Recipe you’ll need:
Roasted Beets
Beets
Olive oil
Kosher salt & pepper
Beet Bloody Mary Mix
Roasted beets
Vegetable juice
Worcestershire sauce
Freshly grated horseradish
Pickle juice
Fresh garlic
Fresh lemon
Garnish
Radish
Celery
Horseradish cheese
Cherry tomatoes
Pickled Brussel sprouts
Salt & pepper
How to Make the Roasted Beets
Once the beets have roasted set to cool. Once they are cool cut into slices, place in a container, and chill in the refrigerator. For this recipe use red beets. As much as I love golden yellow beets, it would change the recipe pretty dramatically in my opinion. Hey…maybe a future summer recipe idea!
Prep for the Beet Bloody Mary Recipe
While the beets are chilling in the refrigerator, get all of your other ingredients for the beet Bloody Mary mix ready. Once beets are chilled and ingredients are prepared, you’ll put them in a blender and blend on high for several minutes. If the mix is too pasty you can always add more vegetable juice or pickle juice to thin it out a little more.
After trying this recipe immediately from the blender and also drinking the leftovers the next day, it is not required but I recommend letting it stew overnight in the refrigerator. This gives the ingredients time to really marinate together and it tastes even better than day one!
Can I make the beet bloody mary spicy?
Absolutely! If you’re looking for a little pep in your step, add hot sauce to the bloody mary mix OR you could even throw in a few thin slices of hot pepper into the blender, the choice is yours!

- 1 cup of roasted beets
- 3 cups of vegetable juice (not tomato) like V8
- 1/2 cup of pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce (leave out for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated horseradish
- 1 teaspoon of fresh garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 radish slices
- 2 pickled Brussel sprouts
- 2 horseradish cheese cubes (leave out for vegan option)
- 2 pickle spears (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Cut 1 large red beet into quarters and place on tin foil on a baking sheet
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper
- Bake for 1 hour or until the beets become soft
- Remove from oven and let cool, then peel the skin off the beet and slice into strips. If you're not making the beet bloody mary mix at that time, store in the refrigerator
- Put beets, vegetable juice, and remaining mix ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 5 minutes
- Serve in a glass over ice. Garnish with cheese and vegetables. For best results let stew overnight in the refrigerator
Notes:
Add extra pickle juice or tomato juice to desired smoothness. Leave Worcestershire sauce and cheese out for a completely vegan beet bloody mary recipe. Best enjoyed after chilling overnight in the fridge but can be enjoyed immediately after blending. The beet bloody mary mix can be enjoyed as a mocktail without liquor. Keep extra beet bloody mary mix in the refrigerator up 4 days.
