Look out 2024, the Bloody Mary is having a renaissance. Meet Marty's, the new tomato juice on the block. Offering a booze free, gloop free alternative to the traditional Bloody Mary, Marty's Virgin Bloody Mary is a bottle of umami, well-spiced deliciousness in a glass. Made without preservatives or added sugar, Marty's contains unfiltered apple cider vinegar (with the mother) which is great for gut health and it is packed with vitamins A and C, essential for skin health and immunity. It's also a rich source of antioxidants, like lycopene, known to support heart health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
What's more, Marty's is low in calories and tomato juice aids natural rehydration, and promotes overall well-being. This is, incidentally, also why the classic Bloody Mary is such a popular choice at morning-after-the-night-before brunch tables around the globe.
Here's what you need to know about Marty's:
Marty’s is light and refreshing.
“The biggest misconception about tomato juice is that it has to be thick and gloopy. Tomato cocktails do not have to be heavy and dense, and they don’t have to feel like you are swallowing your way through a bottle full of cold soup.” Says co-founder, Paula Raubenheimer. Tomato Juice can actually be light, lovely, and super refreshing. It took the team a while to get the consistency just right, but they figured it out.
Marty’s is all about the flavour.
The sister and brother duo behind the juice have been staunch connoisseurs of tomato juice their whole life. Their mission was to achieve that next-to-the-pool-on-holiday taste. The result allows the soul of the tomato to shine while also igniting your savoury, sweet, tart, bitter and spicy taste buds.
In 2023 Marty’s Mild Virgin Bloody Mary took home a Double Gold at the Aurora International Taste Challenge. In the same year it also won a star at the Great Taste Awards, where 14000+ products went through the competition’s rigorous blind judging process and Marty’s was described as simply delicious by the tough judging panel. In 2024 Marty’s Spicy Virgin Bloody Mary was awarded a silver medal at the Alcohol-Free Awards and has recently been announced as a finalist at the 2024 Nourish Awards.
Marty’s is a sustainable choice.
Marty’s subscribes to 10 of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and as a female-owned and run business, they work hard to ensure that every step taken to produce their product considers the environment and the community.
Marty’s is versatile.
Marty's Virgin Bloody Mary is a great choice whenever you're in the mood for a drink that leans into the savoury space instead of the sweet. It's a fabulous option for sober-curious epicureans and teetotallers alike.
You can pair her with your favourite tipple (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) to make a more savoury cocktail. Marty’s is also a perfect post-sweat cheerleader to replenish electrolytes after cycling, running, or entertaining your toddler for 3 hours straight.
Be a smarty, and try a Marty's! It's going to change everything you thought you knew about tomato juice.
Marty’s can be found online on Amazon, direct from Marty’s on their website and in farm shops, delis and independent stores around the UK.
