Simply add all ingredients, blend and serve, all in less than 5-minutes. If you prefer, just add your favorite vodka to make it a green Bloody Mary.
How to create the best 5-Minute Homemade Green Bloody Mary Mix
- Use ripe heirloom green tomatoes, preferably organic. This will lend a majority of flavor to the mix. You can substitute yellow tomatoes depending on availability.
- Tomatillos don’t need to be cooked, just blend them in.
- Add more or less hot sauce to create the desired amount of heat.
- Substitute ingredients or modify the mix to your liking. Add things like lime or lemon juice that makes lavender lemon cocktail or green onion, jalapeno, chili powder or other spices.

Think I could freeze this? I have SO many green tomatoes!!
That’s a great idea! I haven’t tried it with this recipe, but I don’t see why not. I have frozen my tonic water concentrate (without the carbonated water) and defrosted and worked fine.
How many tomatillos and tomatoes go into this?
Hi Kerri. I apologize for that, recently change my recipe plugin and looks like this didn’t translate over properly. It’s all fixed and thanks for the comment!
I love fried green tomatoes, that’s the only thing I ever thought of for green tomatoes! This great idea for Bloody Mary!! Looks great!
I am such a fan of tomatillos, but have never had them in a Bloody Mary! What a great idea. Can’t wait to add this to my drink menu for brunch.
Oh wow this looks incredible! I have never thought to try a green Bloody Mary!
