The Bloody Mary is a classic cocktail that was invented back in the 1920’s. It went on to world-wide popularity as a brunch drink and hangover cure. It even makes the list of International Bartender Association’s IBA official cocktails, which means it has an “official” definition. The Bloody Maria simply swaps out the vodka for tequila, making for a refreshing and tasty alteration on a classic.
