The Bloody Mary is a classic and has been loved since it first came about in New York City during the 1940s. And if you love this, you’ll love the Threepenny Mary variant by the renowned Fortnum & Mason with scotch and sherry. Plus, if serving en mass, this cocktail can easily be scaled up (for example if you want to make a jug full for convenience), just ensure the liquids are proportionally increased. If you want some extra complexity, try substituting the plain vodka with their marmalade version. It’s a delicious take on a classic.
