Bloody Mary Recipe

Bloody Marys are one of the most popular cocktails in the world. They can help you get up and going even if you’re groggy. The origins of the Bloody Mary are not precisely known, but it is likely to be traced back to the mid-1930s, when Fernand “Pete,” a bartender in King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City, created the cocktail.

According to legend, the original Bloody Mary contained seven ingredients, including vodka, tomato sauce, Tabasco, black pepper, celery, Tabasco, and Tabasco. Like many classic drinks, it has been adapted into several different variations. The Bloody Maria, made with tequila, the Red Snapper, spiked with gin; and the Caesar are all popular versions. The tomato-based cocktail has a variety of unique variations, including a heavy dose of hot sauce or a splash of Guinness.

In recent years, the Bloody Mary inspired an arms race of garnishes. Restaurants and bars have been adding more crazy garnishes to their drinks, such as bacon, shrimp, lobster tails, and mini cheeseburgers. This has turned the Bloody Mary into its brunch. If you need more clarification, start with the classic Bloody Mary recipe and then customize it to your liking, whether with pepperoni or topped with a pizza.
