When I think of a Bloody Mary, I think of ‘the morning after the night before’. This drink is a well known, and much loved hang-over cure. But, it’s also a wonderful choice for brunches, lunches and afternoon teas.

This recipe is a little different from your traditional Bloody Mary and along with Vodka and tomato juice it also incorporates the wonderful fiery North Africian hot red paste, Harissa. This is an exciting twist on a classic drink.
