Meet the Supplier April

After falling in love with the idea of using pickle juice in drinks & cocktails whilst on a trip to the US, our founder, Florence, set out to create her own seriously amazing range - all lovingly produced on her grandparents' farm in Suffolk, UK.

The Pickle House Spiced Tomato Mix is an award winning blend of tomato juice, our Original Pickle Juice and a generous amount of spice. Made from all natural ingredients, it's suitable for vegans, and has an 18 month shelf life.

Serve over ice for a Virign Mary, with vodka for a seriously good Bloody Mary, with gin for a Red Snapper, or with a light lager for a Michelada.

Our flavour-packed, umami-rich products are ahead of the game as consumers are growing increasingly curious about savoury drinks & cocktails. But don't just take our word for it - Vanity Fair hailed our Spiced Tomato Mix as the "Best Bloody Mary Base known to man."

We're committed to creating delicious products while keeping the planet in mind. That's why we're proud to be a B-Corp certified company - and the first Spiced Tomato Mix producer to achieve it.
