How long has this tomato juice been in the fridge? Do we have horseradish? Can I use soy sauce instead of Worcestershire?

In The Bag Cocktail Mix was born out of my desire to make a Bloody Mary—a good one with fresh and tasty ingredients—whenever I wanted, without needing to run to the store and buy an armload of groceries that would soon be past their prime. I also wanted it to be portable—something I could take on vacation, hiking, or just up to camp without worrying about refrigeration, a mess in the cooler, or even having to take a cooler.

My solution is Linda Di’s In The Bag Bloody Mary Cocktail Mix! It is fresh-tasting, zesty, a bit spicy, with a rich tomato taste and great body. The recipe is plant-based, using Maine dulse and Maine wild mushroom mix for a special umami experience. All you need to do is take a package off the shelf, rip it open, and stir it with water to create a full-flavor Bloody Mary mix.

Today, In The Bag has grown beyond a single Bloody Mary mix.

What began as a practical solution in my own kitchen has evolved into a collection of thoughtfully crafted, shelf-stable cocktail and mocktail mixes made with premium, plant-based ingredients.

Each flavor is designed to be:

• Fresh-tasting and balanced

• Easy to prepare — just add water (and alcohol, if desired)

• Travel-friendly and event-ready

• Made with high-quality ingredients, including Maine-sourced elements whenever possible

From signature Bloody Marys to vibrant margaritas, daiquiris, and seasonal offerings, the goal remains the same: deliver a beautifully crafted drink experience without the prep, waste, or guesswork.

Whether you’re hosting at home, heading outdoors, planning a wedding, or building a bar menu, In The Bag makes it simple to serve something memorable.
