Fun Facts:

The origin of the Bloody Mary is disputed, but it's believed to have been created in the 1930s by Fernand Petiot, a bartender at Harry's New York Bar in Paris.

The drink was initially called the "Bucket of Blood" due to its vibrant red color.

In some regions, Bloody Marys are served with a "garnish bar," where patrons can customize their drink with an assortment of toppings.
