January 1st marks National Bloody Mary Day, a tribute to one of the world's most iconic cocktails. The Bloody Mary, traditionally made with vodka, tomato juice, and a blend of spices and flavorings, has been a brunch staple for decades. Did you know? The Bloody Mary was allegedly invented in the 1920s by Fernand Petiot, a Parisian bartender. It's often considered a "hangover cure" due to its combination of a heavy vegetable base (tomato juice), salt, and alcohol. It's a popular choice after New Year's Eve celebrations. In the United States, over 1 million Bloody Marys are consumed daily. The world's largest Bloody Mary was created in Wisconsin in 2012, containing 100 gallons of the cocktail. Variations of the drink exist worldwide, with unique ingredients like shrimp, bacon, or even wasabi. Cubans drink it with Rum instead of Vodka, it is called Cubanito there. Mexicans of course with Tequila. Name? Bloody Margarita. Every Bloody Mary is unique, from spicy to savory, adorned with celery, olives, or even bacon. Today, let's toast to this timeless classic that continues to captivate taste buds around the world! Cheers to National Bloody Mary Day! 🎉 More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Mary_(cocktail).
