Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup tomato juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2-1 tsp tamari
  • 1/2-1 tsp vegan worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2-1 tsp hot sauce

  • 1 fresh lime
  • 2 tbsp coarse or flaky salt
  • 1 tbsp tajin
  • cornichon pickles

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker add tomato juice, lime juice, tamari, worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Add ice and shake vigorously. Adjust to taste.
  • Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass of choice and press into a mix of salt and tajin. Add ice to the glass.
  • Divide the mixture between two glasses and top off with NA beer.

Notes

  • Use spicy tomato juice instead of regular tomato juice for a spicy mocktail!
  • Speaking of spice, mix some chili powder in with your salt and tajin to add an extra kick to your rim. You can also stir chili powder into your drink mixture. 
  • Choose a non-alcoholic beer that mimics the taste of regular beer.
  • Use fresh lime juice if possible! Fresh lime juice always has a better, zesty flavor and will make your mocktail even better. 
  • Chill your glass before serving, this drink is best cold.
  • Don’t skimp on your garnishes, they make this drink so delicious!
