1st January is the beginning of the English new year. But this day is a remarkable one for another reason, and that is National Bloody Mary Day. The same date is also known as National Hangover Day too. National Bloody Mary Day is celebrated every year on the same date.
A Bloody Mary is the name of a cocktail that is used to overcome a hangover. The hangover is caused by the parties or over-drinking of the previous night, the 31st night. But the irony of the fact is that the hangover cure cocktail itself consists of alcohol. Whatever the matter, it helps to overcome the hangover and alleviate symptoms like headache, etc.
Bloody Mary Cocktail
The Bloody Mary cocktail can become the perfect cure if a person still feels the hangover after a whole night. It should also be drunk to save oneself from dehydration because hangover symptoms can alleviate dehydration. The Bloody Mary Cocktail is made of Vodka, Tomato juice, Lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic, herbs, celery, olives, cayenne, and salt. The drink is sometimes served with bacon and shrimp. But traditionally, the drink is served over the ice in a tall glass. In the United States, people consume the drink in the morning or afternoon.
The invention of Bloody Mary Day
It is claimed by the French bartender Fernand Patriot that he invented the Bloody Mary drink in 1921. He used to work in Paris at a New York bar. Later on, the bar got the name Harry’s New York bar. But the invention of National Bloody Mary Day is quite a mystery.
We could not find the exact time and person who could have invented it. But it can be guessed that it may have been invented between 1920 to 1930. And the name itself is obscure. Scholars suggest that the name may have been named after Queen Mary of England because she was named Bloody Mary.
