This Grocery Brand from My Home State Makes the Best Bloody Mary Mix (I Order It on Repeat!)

This summer, I’ve been spending a lot of time in Maine, soaking up the coastal beauty and indulging in as much lobster as I can afford. I’m lucky that my parents live close to the beach, making it the perfect spot for a little New England getaway when the weather warms up. Growing up near York, Maine, Stonewall Kitchen was always a staple in our home. I’ve tried its sauces, spreads, jams, and other delicious products, which also made the ultimate Christmas gift! Despite sampling so many of its offerings, I was surprised when my parents recently introduced me to Stonewall Kitchen’s Bloody Mary Mix. Somehow, it was never on my radar.

Being particular about Bloody Marys, I knew that even a trusted brand like Stonewall Kitchen might not meet my high standards. I’m very picky about the balance of flavors. Too much horseradish or an overabundance of tomato puree without enough spice can ruin the drink for me — it has to be just right. But one sip of this mix, and I was hooked. It was so good, I found myself wanting more. And more.

If you love Bloody Marys but aren’t sure where to start when making them, let Stonewall Kitchen’s Bloody Mary Mix be your perfect base. Made with rich tomato paste, zesty lemon juice, and a blend of spices, it provides the perfect foundation for crafting your own unique Bloody Mary. You can customize it with hot sauce, pickles, or any other ingredients to create the drink of your dreams. This delicious mix stores easily in your pantry, ready for brunch with guests or as a solo treat. Trust me, it’s so flavorful you can even enjoy it without alcohol — you’ll feel light and refreshed just from the taste!

Like I said earlier, Bloody Marys need to have the perfect balance of spice and zest; if the ratio is even slightly off, the whole drink can be a “bloody” waste of time (see what I did there?). What I like about Stonewall Kitchen’s Bloody Mary Mix is that it strikes just the right balance of ingredients. It’s neither too spicy nor too sweet, making it a great base to enjoy on its own or to customize with additional ingredients. Personally, I like adding bacon, pickles, and olives to mine, and I find the flavor complements these additions perfectly! Honestly, this mix is good enough to drink straight from the bottle — it’s truly that tasty. Ideal for breakfast Bloody Marys or giving to a friend as a gift, it’s one of the best pre-packaged mixes I’ve found.
