Celebrating National Bloody Mary Day!
John Dunlop
National Bloody Mary Day serves up one of the world's most popular hangover cures on January 1st. But, you don’t have to be hungover to enjoy this cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and other spices and flavorings including Worcestershire sauce, hot sauces, garlic, herbs, horseradish, celery, olives, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lime juice and celery salt. The Bloody Mary was invented in the 1920s or 1930s, and its name is associated with a number of historical figures—particularly Queen Mary I of England, who was nicknamed "Bloody Mary", and with Hollywood star Mary Pickford. Others believe this cocktail was named after a waitress named Mary who worked at a Chicago bar called the Bucket of Blood. Whatever its origin, drink in the New Year with this delectable cocktail!
