Fresh Yellow-Tomato Bloody Mary image

Freshly picked yellow tomatoes lend a lighter taste and an unexpected shot of color to traditional Bloody Marys. If you like, pair the drink with a regular red version to highlight the distinction. To make a traditional Bloody Mary cocktail, substitute ripe red tomatoes for the yellow ones.
