April Fool's Joke Turns into a Spicy New Ketchup from Zing Zang®

Inspired by Fan Demand, America's Top Bloody Mary Brand
Brings its Bold Flavor to Burgers, Fries, Hot Dogs, and More 

CHICAGO, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for National French Fry Day (July 11) and National Hot Dog Day (July 16), Zing Zang – America's #1 Bloody Mary brand – is bringing its signature flavor to the condiment aisle with the launch of America's first Bloody Mary Ketchup.

"The idea actually started as an April Fool's joke on social media," said E.G. Fishburne, VP of Marketing at Zing Zang. "Almost immediately, that post became our most viral ever, and fans weren't joking – they wanted us to make it. That's when we knew we were on to something. People wanted a spicy, flavorful ketchup – and we already had the perfect recipe to deliver it. Goodbye, boring ketchup!"

Zing Zang Bloody Mary Ketchup is a flavorful twist on a classic, crafted from the same ingredients that made Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix famous – including a unique blend of tomatoes, seven vegetable juices, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and seasonings – for the signature kick that defines the brand.

"This is an exciting time for Zing Zang as we push beyond the beverage aisle for the first time," said Brent Albertson, CEO of Zing Zang. "Our Zing Zangers are passionate about our Bloody Marys, and now we're bringing that same big, bold taste to a new category. It's the same amazing Zing Zang Bloody Mary flavor – now made to pair perfectly with burgers, fries, and more."

Zing Zang Bloody Mary Ketchup comes in 15 oz. squeeze bottles and contains no high fructose corn syrup. It will launch first on Amazon this summer, with availability expanding to grocery stores, bars, and restaurants nationwide.

In addition to the new Zing Zang Bloody Mary Ketchup, the brand's lineup includes its original Bloody Mary Mix, Blazing Bloody Mary Mix (a hotter, spicier version of the original), new Dill Pickle Bloody Mary Mix, Michelada Mix, Margarita Mixes, and a line of ready-to-drink cocktails made with premium spirits and Zing Zang Mixes.
