Spicy Virgin Mary

I tried this recipe many years ago while making brunch with a close friend.  It was so good that we didn’t want to ruin it by adding vodka.  Fresh juice is the key.  It really takes the drink to new heights.  Give it a try the next time you are serving brunch.  Your guests will be fighting for the last glass!
