NAPLES,
Italy, Dec. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tomato
juice, vodka, spices, and a legendary 'splatter' name: the Bloody
Mary is served in this reinterpretation by the "Red Gold Tomatoes
from Europe" project, promoted
by ANICAV (the Italian Association of Canned Vegetables
Industries). The international project, co-funded by the European
Union, which promotes the export and consumption of Italian organic
preserved tomatoes to Denmark,
presents the "Bloody Massimo", inspired by one of the most
iconic and "bloody" drinks, on the official list of the
International Bartenders Association's international alcoholic
cocktails.
The history of the Blood Mary. Its origins date back to
the early 1900s, when according to some, Fernand Petiot, bartender of the legendary
Harry's Bar in Paris, was inspired
by Ernest Hemingway, one of many
Americans who frequented the bar. The first recipe was simple, but
ingenious: half vodka, half tomato juice and spices. Petiot
perfected it in New York, at the
St. Regis Hotel bar, making it even spicier. In 1939 the cocktail
became a success, thanks to Lucius
Beebe, who praised the new drink in his gossip column in the
New York Herald Tribune.
Petiot reiterated that he had developed the recipe as early as
1934: 6 cl of vodka, 6cl of tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce,
horseradish sauce, later replaced by Tabasco, salt, black pepper,
cayenne pepper, a squeeze of lemon and crushed ice. And what about
the origin of its name? One theory is it came from a famous
admirer: the Hollywood star
Mary Pickford, who already had a red
drink named after her which was then "betrayed" with the Bloody
Mary. Another is that it was a tribute to Mary I, Queen of
England, nicknamed Bloody Mary
because of the iron fist with which she tried to restore
Catholicism in Protestant England, by executing traitors to the
kingdom.
Now, to the bar to make this version, courtesy of the Red Gold
Tomatoes from Europe project: the
"Bloody Massimo".
