When I dined at a local restaurant that had a ‘Tequila Sunrise Chicken’, I knew instantly I had to make a marinade with my favorite cocktail. Suddenly the Bloody Mary Marinade became part of my cooking arsenal for meats! Bloody Mary’s are one of my favorite cocktails!
The Bloody Mary
A Bloody Mary is a cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and other spices and flavorings including Worcestershire sauce, hot sauces, garlic, herbs, horseradish, celery, olives, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lime juice or celery salt. In the United States, it is usually consumed in the morning or early afternoon and is popular as a hangover cure.
Fernand Petiot claimed to have invented the modern Bloody Mary in 1934 as a refinement to George Jessel’s drink, at the King Cole Room in New York’s St. Regis Hotel, according to the hotel’s own history.[7] Petiot told The New Yorker in July 1964:
I initiated the Bloody Mary of today. Jessel said he created it, but it was really nothing but vodka and tomato juice when I took it over. I cover the bottom of the shaker with four large dashes of salt, two dashes of black pepper, two dashes of cayenne pepper, and a layer of Worcestershire sauce; I then add a dash of lemon juice and some cracked ice, put in two ounces of vodka and two ounces of thick tomato juice, shake, strain, and pour. We serve a hundred to a hundred and fifty Bloody Marys a day here in the King Cole Room and in the other restaurants and the banquet rooms.”[8]
