Answer 3

Bloody Mary is a cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and usually other spices or flavorings such as Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, beef consomme or bouillon, horseradish, celery or celery salt, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. The epithet "Bloody Mary" is associated with a number of historical and fictional women, most notably Queen Mary I of England (see Bloody Mary (person) for others); however, there is no known connection between the name of the cocktail and any of these people. The name is clearly used to refer to the blood-like colour of the cocktail.

The order of preparation can be crucial, and many bartenders guard secret recipes for the drink.[citation needed] It is sometimes garnished with a celery stick and is served in a tall glass, often over ice. It is one of the few cocktails traditionally served in the morning, along with the Screwdriver and the Mimosa.

Bartender Fernand Petiot of Harry's New York Bar in Paris claimed to have invented the drink in 1920. The first citation of "Bloody Mary" in the Oxford English Dictionary is from Punch (August 15, 1956): "Those two … are eating raw steaks and drinking Bloody Marys."

Answer 4

When Fernand Petiot, an American bartender at Harry's New York Bar in Paris during the 1920's, mixed equal parts tomato juice and vodka, he had no idea his concoction would become world famous. According to Petiot, "one of the boys suggested we call the drink 'Bloody Mary' because it reminded him of the Bucket of Blood Club in Chicago, and a girl there named Mary."
