HOW TO MAKE A BLOODY MARY
hello i am a hidden space!
The Bloody Mary, a bold and savoury cocktail, is renowned for its distinctive combination of flavours and its reputation as a quintessential brunch libation. Its origin is a subject of debate, with several claims to its creation, but one prevailing story attributes its birth to the bartender Fernand Petiot at the New York Bar in Paris in the early 1920s. Initially known as the "Bucket of Blood" for its intense flavour, the cocktail underwent a transformation when Petiot brought the recipe to the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. There, it was refined and renamed the Bloody Mary. Comprising vodka, tomato juice, various spices, and garnishes like celery and olives, the Bloody Mary has evolved into a customisable and beloved classic, celebrated for its boldness and its reputation as a revitalising cure-all for the morning after.
