December 6 – Bloody Mary

The drink Bloody Mary was probably invented by a bartender named Fernand “Pete” Petiot, who created his first version in the early 1920s at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. After Prohibition, Petiot moved to New York where he presided over the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel. While at St. Regis, he enhanced the drink with horseradish, Tabasco, lemon juice and celery salt.
The glass, Slow Fox, was designed by the Swedish designer Ingegerd Råman in 2000.
