The 7 Best Bottled Bloody Mary Mixes You Can Buy

As a general rule, making your own cocktail mixes is significantly better than buying pre-made versions, but some brands are doing right by bottled libations, and certain cocktails are better than others when mixed in advance. Take the Bloody Mary, for example. Companies spend a lot of time perfecting their mixes to get the perfect blend of spicy, savory and tangy flavors, so all you have to do is add vodka, gin, tequila or your preferred spirit. Of course, some Bloody Mary mixes stand out above the rest, like the seven laid out for you on this list. The next time you’re hosting a brunch gathering or are simply in the mood for a rich, savory cocktail, these bottlings will do the trick.

Zing Zang

Out of all the Bloody Mary mixes on this list, you’re probably most familiar with Zing Zang. It’s available at most grocery and liquor stores, and for good reason because it’s downright delicious. Not only is a great mixed with vodka for a classic Bloody Mary, but Hendrick’s Gin national brand ambassador Vance Henderson swears by it when mixing a Red Snapper. “I prefer to use Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix as it has a rounded flavor profile, much like Hendrick’s Gin,” Henderson says. “Its blend of seven vegetable juices, spices, and hot sauce yields a full flavor, and the resulting cocktail from the duo is curiously irresistible!”

Top Tomato Bloody Mary Mix

John and Marina Backes started Circle B Ranch to raise sustainable, hormone-free pork, and Marina also started making shelf-stable products like barbecue sauce and cranberry chutney. Now, her Top Tomato Bloody Mary Mix is one of the best on the market, and it’s won awards to prove it. “Our Top Tomato Bloody Mary Mix is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients that make it a whole food,” Marina says. “It is a ‘meal in a bottle!’” It’s available in both a regular and a spicy version and both are gluten-free. It’s also a 2021 Silver medal winner in the NY International Spirits Competition.

Ubons Pitmasters Hot & Spicy

If you’re looking for a Bloody Mary that is straight-up luxurious, Ubons Pitmasters Hot & Spicy should be your go-to bottling. The thick, rich Bloody Mary mix is bursting with umami goodness, a dill pickle brininess, and sweet, succulent heat from Ubons award-winning BBQ sauce. Mix it with vodka, enjoy it on its own or pair it with your favorite smoked meats for an extra delicious experience.

Hella Classic Bloody Mary Mixer

Hella Cocktail Co makes some of our favorite bitters on the bar shelf, but their premium mixers are also worthy of attention. Hella Classic Bloody Mary Mixer is juicy and peppery with a nice horseradish kick. The mix is pretty mild, which makes it perfect for groups of sippers with varying spice tolerances because everyone can add hot pepper as they please.

McClure’s Bloody Mary Mix

You might know McClure’s for their excellent pickles, which make for great Bloody Mary garnishes. But the company also produces a delicious bloody mary mix that’s full of dill, garlic, and their very own pickle brine. It has a hint of cucumber and just enough spice to make it a crowd-pleaser for any type of brunch celebration. The pickle brine gives a bright acidity that makes Bloody Mary’s seem even more thirst-quenching.

SuckerPunch Gourmet Bold and Spicy Bloody Mary Mix

If you’re looking to kick things up a notch at your next brunch gathering, SuckerPunch Gourmet Bold and Spicy Bloody Mary Mix will certainly do the trick. The formula doesn’t contain Worcestershire sauce, making it safe for your vegan friends, and it gets a bold, spicy flavor from ghost chili pepper mash. Serve it with skewers of provolone cubes and blue cheese-stuffed olives to quell the heat.

Stonewall Kitchen Bloody Mary Mixer

Known for their jams, preserves, and baking mixes, Stonewall Kitchen also makes cocktail mixers including Margarita, Dirty Martini, and Lemon Drop. If you’re a fan of bright Bloodys, Stonewall Kitchen Bloody Mary Mixer adds just the right amount of zing to the vodka (or tequila) cocktail. Lemon and lime juices lend a tangy touch to the thick mix that we even love sipping on its own sans spirit. Garnish it with plenty of pickled veggies. The Bloody Mary mixer line also includes Cucumber Dill and Peppadew Sriracha versions.
