    Coffee Bloody Mary: This is a Bloody Mary has an extra kick from coffee! Try it as a mocktail or a brunch cocktail by adding vodka. It's a zingy, savoury/sweet drink.

    Wooden table with two glasses of drinks.

    You need to plan ahead for cold brew coffee. It's really easy to make but you need to let it sit and do its thing for a while.

    A long while.

    But trust me, it's worth it for a smooth coffee.

    You can get it ready the night before and then in the morning, just throw together this virgin, coffee Bloody Mary - ideal for weekend brunch!

    Brunch cocktail

    If you're looking for a brunch cocktail, you've come to the right place!

    This day-cocktail is punchy, zingy and I really like it spiced up with a dash of tabasco and a little Worcestershire sauce (I use a vegetarian version).

    The mellow cold brew coffee isn't overpowering at all and just adds a nice delicate coffee kick to the vibrant flavours in the drink.

    Ingredients for Coffee Bloody Mary

    Ingredients

    You only need simple ingredients for this awesome twist on the classic Bloody Mary Cocktail. 

    Coffee - I love using cold brew, but any cold coffee works!
    Tomato juice - fresh or store bought
    Lemon juice - fresh is best!
    Sugar syrup - you can buy it or make your own sugar syrup. You only need 10 mins, sugar and water.
    Pepper - freshly ground ideally
    Worcestershire sauce - or vegan worcestershire sauce.
    Tabasco sauce

    Optional:
    Vodka - to make it a cocktail!
    Celery, rosemary and lemon to garnish

      Wow this is certainly something I've never heard before. It does sound strange but I can sort of see how the tomato flavour would work with a coffee that has fruity notes and I can definitely see how it'd wake you up and get you going! I do love cold brews and personally I think a coffee based drink is a much better way to kick-start your day than a vodka based drink!

      I am amazed by this whole idea! Our coffee is black mostly. I'll have to explore this idea when our tomatoes come ripe. Interesting!!

      I've never tasted a Bloody Mary so have no idea what it's like to drink tomato juice. This looks so good though I want a jug of it!

      Wow, who'd have thought of coffee and tomato other than you Kate? I'm not really a coffee lover, but this has got me so intrigued I really want to try it. Such a beautiful colour too.

      as a not-very-huge-fan of tomato juice, I seldom order a bloody mary - but I recall having one made with beef bouillon that also sounded bizarre but was strangely compelling and fortifying. So I will suspend my disbelief with this one too - and it's a good reminder to me to try making my own cold-brew coffee 🙂

      I'm pretty new to the whole cold brew thing, but I have tried it finally and I was pleasantly surprised. I bet I'd love it in this gorgeous Bloody Mary! What a great way to get your caffeine hit!

      What a great idea! I never would have thought to make a bloody mary with coffee instead of vodka. You can really taste the difference with BRITA water too.

      What a genius idea!! I've always thought it was weird that people drink alcoholic cocktails for breakfast, this sounds much more sensible 😉

        Well, I'm partial to a standard Bloody Mary 😉 , but I love this one as an alternative - it's yummy and I'd have it any time of day!

        I know! It's great the Brita and UK Coffee Week have teamed up to give back to the coffee-growing communities. We take for granted that our coffee just appears, but so much goes into those beans.

      Oh my! I wasn't taken much by the idea, but that is a personal thing as I can't do tomato. But love coffee. I can actually see it working though.
      Great idea for fund raising though. My heart breaks every time I see the adverts on TV about unclean water. It shouldn't happen in our age, but unfortunately it does. The more we do to help the better.

        I agree. It's so incomprehensible to struggle just to drink water, so it's great that this 'food week' is really giving back to those who need it.
