What's Inside a Bloody Mary

The original Bloody Mary is said to have consisted of a harmonious blend of seven ingredients: vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, celery salt, Tabasco, and a hint of lemon juice. Nevertheless, much like many timeless concoctions, it has served as the muse for a variety of interpretations. Among these, you'll find the Bloody Maria (crafted with tequila), the Red Snapper (elevated with a touch of gin), and the Caesar, a Canadian creation boasting Clamato juice. When you delve into the creative offerings from different bars, mixologists, and passionate aficionados, the tomato-based cocktail takes on an extensive array of transformations.
