Give a twist and twirl to your Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary is quite an ironical drink: an alcohol-based cocktail that is known to to be sure shot cure for a hangover. With a splash of vodka and mix of tomato juice, lemon juice, Tabasco and other spices, Bloody Mary seemed to have come out of nowhere. Although the cocktail has no relation to Queen Mary I of England, its origin is quite uncertain.

One claim is that the cocktail was discovered by Fernand Petiot, a bartender at the New York Bar in Paris.

The bar later changed its name to Harry’s New York Bar. Another claim is that Bloody Mary was first served in the Hemingway Bar at The Ritz Paris. Despite two conflicting stories, one thing is certain. The racy vodka-tomato based cocktail originated in the glamorous world of Paris. Also, it is related to Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway was a frequent patron at the New York Bar. It is quite interesting that a cure for hangover was concocted in a bar frequented by a writer who was known to be a chronic alcoholic.

  • Smoky Mary: This one gives a smoky twist to your conventional Bloody Mary. Combine together mezcal, fresh tomato juice, lime juice, cucumber juice, celery juice, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, Tabasco, chopped cilantro, a bit of liquid smoke and salt.
