A refined take on the classic Mickey Mouse mocktail, this version introduces fresh lime juice, a seasoned rim, and vibrant garnishes to elevate both taste and presentation. It’s a zesty, savory, and refreshing non-alcoholic drink, perfect for brunches or as a sophisticated alternative to traditional cocktails.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz (90 ml) tomato juice (preferably low-sodium)
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2–3 dashes Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of celery salt (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wedge, for garnish
  • Celery stalk or pickled vegetables, for garnish (optional)
  • Salt or celery salt, for rimming the glass (optional)

Steps to Make It

  1. Prepare the Glass:
    • If desired, rim an old-fashioned glass with salt or celery salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip it into a shallow plate of salt.
  2. Mix the Drink:
    • In a cocktail shaker, combine tomato juice, fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, black pepper, and celery salt (if using).
    • Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Serve:
    • Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes.
    • Strain the mixed drink into the glass over the ice.
    • Garnish with a lime wedge and, if desired, a celery stalk or pickled vegetables for added flair and flavor.

This enhanced Mickey Mouse mocktail offers a more balanced and flavorful experience, with the fresh lime juice adding brightness and the optional garnishes providing visual appeal and additional taste dimensions.
