My hubby loves Bloody Marys and when he brought me some of his first garden fresh tomatoes I had an urge to make one. However tomatoes can have quite a bit of carbs and I didn’t want to make a huge batch so I made this keto spicy Bloody Mary for 1…me!
This drink is delicious with or without alcohol and it is more like a meal in a glass to be honest. It has a bit of that gazpacho feel to it. It was perfect for me and it has only 5.2g net carbs which is not too bad for using fresh ripe tomatoes.
Are Bloody Marys Or Tomatoes Keto?
While tomatoes are technically a fruit, they have much less carbs than most fruits. There are roughly 2-3g net carbs in a medium tomato. And they are full of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K. Here is a great low carb visual guide for vegetables.
Most Bloody Marys use tomato or vegetable juices which might have added sugar making them higher in carbs. If you decide to make a Bloody Mary with vegetable juice, try to find an unsweetened one or this V8 High Fiber which has 7g net carbs per cup.
Keto Spicy Bloody Mary Ingredients
Of course I used fresh tomatoes from our garden for my cocktail. You can see one above and let me tell they are so good! I also used celery salt, onion powder, hot sauce, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and a little lime juice.
Let’s Make That Keto Bloody Mary!
I made the whole recipe in a 4 cup pyrex measuring cup with a hand blender so there would be little mess. So I cleaned and chopped the tomato then added all of the ingredients and pureed with a hand blender.
Then just pour it into a glass, along with a shot or 1oz of vodka, mix and sip. Of course this is quite delicious even with or without alcohol.
Now I have to tell you this is pretty thick and pulpy but I loved it that way. It made it feel more like a meal. However if you want to strain the tomatoes you need to a) use more tomatoes and b) puree and strain before you add all the flavorings.
Recipe Tips & Notes
- This is a thick and pulpy Bloody Mary. If you want a thinner consistency, add more tomatoes, puree and then strain before you add the seasonings.
- This drink is a bit spicy because that is the way I like it. If you want it less spicy, you can eliminate either the hot sauce or the horseradish.
- I used a hand blender because I wanted to make this as simple as possible since it’s a cocktail for 1. You can also use a blender or a food processor however it might turn a bit pink in color just so you know.
- I used 1 oz of vodka in this drink but feel free to eliminate it if you want a non alcoholic drink.
For you Bloody Mary aficionados I would love to hear your thoughts and tips! I really enjoyed this and I hope you give it a try.

Kathryn Donangelo
Bloody Marys are my favorite!! This was incredible and making this again for brunch this weekend!
Bernice Hill
Would you believe I’ve never had a Bloody Mary?! I live in Canada so we tend to drink Ceasars here…that’s tomato juice with clam juice!! I like the idea of making my own though, because the store bought juices are always so high in sodium!!
Denise
Hi Bernice, my hubby loves Caesars too. I’m not a fan of clam juice but he does love them.
Marj Heard
Hi Denise, does your hubby make his own Caesars. If so I wanted to make one would I just lower the tomatoes & add some clam juice? I am also Canadian & love my Caesars but not on Keto. Thanks in advance, Marj Heard
Denise
Hi Marj, my husband doesn’t have his own Caesars but he said that is what he would do…..half tomatoes and clam juice. He has a lot of Canadian friends from hockey growing up and knew what you were talking about. I personally never had one so I’m not much help. I hope it works out for you!
