Cocktails: Bloody Mary

Hey guys I am back from my trip to paris and it was amazing, had a lot of fun!
While traveling I thought about cocktails...
Can you imagine vodka mixed with tomato juice being one of the most popular cocktails in the world? That’s what statistics by bartenders say. A cocktail is usually a mixed drink made by mixing distilled beverages like vodka, gin, whiskey, rum or tequila with other ingredients including juice, liqueur, fruits, honey, sauce, cream, milk, spices, and other complementary flavorings. Cocktails vary in many forms, due to the differences in preparation of the drinks. Some of the popular cocktails are:


Bloody Mary
It is a popular cocktail made by mixing vodka with tomato juice, and spices or flavors like Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef consommé, horseradish, olive, celery, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, celery salt and lemon juice. The Bloody Mary tends to relieve hangovers and is therefore normally taken in the morning.
