The original Bloody Mary is believed to have contained seven ingredients: vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, celery salt, Tabasco and lemon juice. But like many classic drinks, it has inspired several variations. Petiot told The New Yorker in July 1964: I initiated the blood mary of today, Popular versions include the bloody maria (made with tequila), the red snapper (spiked with gin) and the caesar a Canadian creation that features Clamato juice, Its origins aren’t exactly clear, but the likely backstory points to the mid-1930s and Fernand “Pete” Petiot, a bartender at King Cole Bar at the St. Regis hotel in New York City.
