For the morning after! While most spirits average around 120 calories in a typical pour, when you start adding fruit and veggie juice to the mix that number quickly goes up — a Bloody Mary can easily add 350 calories and a ton of sodium to your meal. So, instead of using a store-bought mix full of sodium, sugar and unwanted extra calories, make your own tomato juice and build your own healthier Mary.
