About
The most commonly accepted story places the invention of the Bloody Mary in the 1920s, at the famous Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. At that time, many Russian émigrés were fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution and introducing vodka to Europe, while tomato juice was a hot new thing.
It was Fernand “Pete” Petiot, a French bartender working at Harry’s, who supposedly came up with the idea of mixing the two ingredients in equal parts to create a simple, refreshing drink. In its early days, this recipe was called the “Bucket of Blood,” because of its reddish color.
