First, let’s dive into the history of the Bloody Mary. While there are many variations of the drink, the classic recipe is believed to have originated in the 1920s or 1930s in Paris. It’s said that a bartender at Harry’s New York Bar created the drink for an American patron who wanted something to cure his hangover. The drink made its way to the United States and quickly became a popular brunch staple.
The basic Bloody Mary recipe consists of vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and a combination of spices. From there, the sky’s the limit when it comes to customizing your drink. Some people add horseradish for an extra kick, while others opt for celery salt or even pickle juice. The choice is yours!
When it comes to garnishing and serving your Bloody Mary, there are plenty of options. Classic garnishes include a celery stalk and a wedge of lime, but you can also get creative with pickles, olives, shrimp, or even bacon. For a fun twist, you can serve your Bloody Mary in a mason jar or a hollowed-out tomato.
As for food pairings, Bloody Marys are a great complement to brunch classics like eggs benedict, breakfast sandwiches, and savory pastries. You can also pair it with spicy dishes like huevos rancheros or a spicy omelet.
