After seeing out 2017 with our NYE cocktail, we’re sure you’re going to need something to get you back up and running for 2018. Luckily, Bloody Mary Day falls after the biggest night out of the year, which ties in well with it being a well-known hangover cure!
At European Bartender School, we’ve shaken up the classic, and made an extra special Bloody Mary for the day made with mezcal and gazpacho.
FUN FACT: In the 1950s, the drink was known as a Red Snapper. The reason? Its original name, Bloody Mary, was deemed as being too racy!
