I've never had a Bloody Mary, and since DrinkStreet also had a nice little history about the drink, I thought I'd throw it up here today.
Ingredients: 4 ounces Tomato Juice, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 1 dash Lemon Juice, 2 drops Tabasco Sauce 1 dash Pepper (To taste), 1 dash Salt (To taste), 1 1/2 ounces Vodka.
Directions: Shake with ice, serve in a hurricane glass. Garnish with a wedge of lime.
History: Bloody Mary was invented in the 1920s by an American bartender, Fernand Petiot at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. The original recipe called for equal parts of vodka and tomato juice In 1934, Petiot added black and cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce and lemon juice to spice up the drink for New Yorkers when he moved back to the States and worked at the King Cole Bar, St. Regis. Petiot notes, "one of the boys suggested we call the drink Bloody Mary because it reminded him of the Bucket of Bloody Club in Chicago, and a girl there named Mary."
Since then, enterprising drinkers have added celery stalks, celery salt, tried them with tequila, and often suggest a lemon wedge.
