          A Brief History of the Bloody Mary

    The first person to make a Bloody Mary is  

 not completely clear. Some give the credit to

     Fernand Petiot in 1920 at Harry's Bar in

    Paris, while others believe it was George

 Jessell. Jessell's recipe called for half tomato

juice/half vodka. Still others claim they worked

on it together. Jessell created the drink, while

                 Petiot added the spices.  

     Who ever it was we are glad they did!!
