Fancy a Blood Mary?

I’ll tell you something interesting that I’ve just read. Do you know the origin of the Bloody Mary, the drink?
As you know the Bloody Mary is nowadays one of the drunkest cocktail all over the world. It is prepared by mixing vodka, tomato juice, pepper, lemon and Tabasco sauce. It is said to have its origins in Harry’s bar, in Paris, originally prepared just with tomato and vodka. The name of the cocktail was taken from Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII, broadly known as Mary the Tudor. She condemned all the religious reforms introduced by her father and re-submitted England to the Catholic Roman Church. She persecuted all the protestants and condemned 300 of them to death, that is why she was called “Bloody Mary.”
