Bloody Mary Mix Recipes
Bloody Mary is a great, flavored drink to sip on a nice Sunday afternoon. Bloody Mary mix has been a popular flavored drink. The drink was first prepared in 1920 by an American bartender, Fernand Petiot, at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. Petiot mixed equal parts of tomato juice and vodka and made a world-famous cocktail concoction. The name Bloody Mary was suggested by a patron in the bar who was reminded of the Bucket of Blood Club in Chicago and a girl he knew named Mary at the very sight of the drink.

So Petiot added some black pepper, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon and a splash of Tabasco pepper sauce, thus inventing the spicy Bloody Mary mix.
