Note

This recipe yields approximately 17 cups of mixture. It is designed to be served over ice, which will dilute the flavor slightly as you drink.

Storage: The non-alcoholic base can be prepared up to 3 hours in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator. For best flavor, add the alcohol just before serving.

Variation: For a traditional Bloody Mary, replace the aquavit with vodka. For a fully non-alcoholic version, omit the aquavit entirely.

Tip: Using freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice makes a significant difference in brightness and flavor compared to bottled juices.
