It's unclear where the tomato-juice–based sipper first originated, but perhaps one of the strongest claims comes from the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel. According to New York legend, it was St. Regis bartender Fernand Petiot who first served the cocktail to a Russian guest in 1934. While that classic mix of vodka, tomato juice and Worcestershire sauce has been tweaked to no end, the original recipe lives on at the hotel, christened the Red Snapper. Watch our video above to see bartender Robert 'Bob' Albright of the King Cole Bar demonstrate how to make a classic Bloody Mary.
