"I do think that there is this movement towards wellness, and I think that our drinks probably reflect that," Yates said. - High spirits -At The Virgin Mary, drinks have been designed with those served at the city's 750 traditional pubs in mind. And the pub's signature drink The Virgin Mary -- a cheeky play on the classic Bloody Mary -- is made of tomato juice, muscat, pickle, lime and spice. As well as mimicking the hard stuff, the bar matches pub opening hours and advertises to an older clientele in order to carve its own niche and avoid association with cafes and juice bars.
