Dover Is Home To Delaware’s Best Bloody Mary

EVERYONE has a different Bloody Mary recipe.

EVERYONE also claims their Bloody is the best Bloody around.

Either way you squeeze it, the Bloody Mary is a polarizing cocktail.

It could either get your day started, or help you get over the night before.

The famous drink has been around for a LONG time.

The story goes that a young bartender named Fernand “Pete” Petiot invented the Bloody Mary at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris in 1921. At that time, Harry’s was a hangout for US expats seeking the familiarity of an American style bar in the days of prohibition and it became popular with many stars of the day including Humphrey Bogart, Ernest Hemingway and Rita Hayworth. (Silver Circle Distillery)

I shockingly know some people whose go-to drink is the Bloody Mary, but I have always known it as a hangover cure.

Of course a little “hair of the dog” helps, but the other ingredients in the mixer are sure to wake you up the day after a full shift at the local watering hole.

Tomato juice and salt can really help replace and retain the electrolytes you may have lost late in the evening.

The Bloody is packed with Vitamin C and B6 both known to help recover.

Of course adding your favorite alcohol to the drink will keep pushing your hangover back…because you are just loading up on more spirits.

The drink can also aid as a catalyst to get your appetitive back on track. The mix of ingredients help stimulate your belly and tastebuds.

As summer approaches and the days get longer, as well as the nights, a Bloody Mary in the morning can help that beach trip be a little more bearable.
