Queen Mary Cocktail
The Queen Mary cocktail is an elegant and effervescent twist on the classic Bloody Mary, substituting vodka with champagne or sparkling wine. This sophisticated brunch drink combines the savory notes of tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce with the celebratory fizz of champagne. It's often garnished with celery, olives, or a lemon wedge, making it both a drink and a light snack. The Queen Mary offers a lighter, brighter alternative to its vodka-based cousin.

What you’ll need

Method
- 1
Prepare the Glass
Take a chilled highball glass or a large wine glass. Add 3 cubes of ice to the glass.
Chilling your glass beforehand helps keep your cocktail colder for longer, preventing the ice from melting too quickly and diluting the drink.
Timer: 1 min
highball glass - 2
Combine Savory Ingredients
Pour 60 ml of tomato juice, 5 ml of Worcestershire sauce, 2 ml of Tabasco sauce, and 15 ml of fresh lemon juice into the glass over the ice. Stir gently to combine these ingredients.
Adjust the amount of Tabasco sauce to your preferred level of spice. A little extra lemon juice can brighten the flavors.
Timer: 1 min
stirring spoon - 3
Add the Fizz
Slowly top the mixture with 120 ml of chilled champagne or sparkling wine. Pour gently to preserve the effervescence.
Always add the sparkling wine last to maintain its fizz. For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling cider or soda water instead of champagne.
Timer: 1 min - 4
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your Queen Mary cocktail with a celery stalk and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant brunch drink!
Other popular garnishes include olives, a lemon wedge, or even a few cherry tomatoes on a skewer.
