National Bloody Mary Day

January 1, Monday

National Bloody Mary Day celebrates the drinking of the Bloody Mary cocktail, which is described by some as the perfect hangover cure–despite the fact that it happens to contain the very thing that made the person hung over in the first place: alcohol!

Even so, the Bloody Mary is a delicious and tasty beverage that is most often made with vodka, tomato juice, certain spices and Worcestershire sauce, served on the rocks with a celery stalk or a dill pickle.
