Try making a bloody Mary with Gasoline let me know if you went blind

That second story was so specific and coincidental that it can't be true. It's like me saying "Oh, yeah, I invented the Bloody Mary when I was in Maryland and I was out drinking tomato juice with my buddy Charlie Chaplin. He was a little-known actor at the time, and a strong alcoholic so I often gave him Worcestershire sauce to calm him down and clear his hangovers. Anyway, we were walking down Broadway when we witnessed a murder in a back alley. The perpetrator ran away before we could get a close look at his face, but we did learn the victim's identity: her name was Mary, a 20-year-old movie producer from Hollywood. We quickly phoned an ambulance, and as we did she noticed Charlie's incredible reactions. She asked him to take part in her latest movie, and as thanks she would give us all of the spices that she kept hidden in her dress. Charlie accepted, of course, and as she handed over the spices we accidentally spilled everything we had into a conveniently placed glass on the floor: the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, vodka, spices, our shellfish, everything! Even some of the blood spilling out of Mary made it's way into the concoction, and as I peered at this mixture, I realised what had to be done! I rushed the drink to my local bartender, shaking it up and mixing it along the way, and handed it to him. He took one sip of it and exclaimed "By the name of Bloody Mary, this drink is the best darn thing I've ever done sipped!". I said "Well, funny you should say that..." and that's how the drink came to be know as the Kentucky Volcano. Until Alfred Hitchcock made me change it to Bloody Mary to promote his home movie, the ungrateful swine. He never even paid me for it.'

The way he read it sure. I have a bigger problem with going through such a winding process when clearly both inspirations of Bloody Mary were themselves inspired by the actual Bloody Mary. Like, nicknaming the first Mary after a place she worked only seems funny with the context of the Queen in mind. Same goes for second Mary; that joke only really seems funny with the Queen taken into account.

I was really hoping to see a nod to the Canadian version, the Caesar, made with clamato (a mixture of tomato and clam juice), especially with the knowledge that one of the inspirational recipes included oysters. the drink was invented in Calgary, Alberta, and is one of the top selling cocktails in Canada. As a bartender who has made and consumed both, the Caesar is, in my opinion, superior in pretty much every way.

I have two questions that I've not seen in your videos. 1: Why are Roman Numerals still so common, like in copyright dates for moves. Wouldn't it be easier to use the Arabic numbers we all use today. 2: There is a joke that the only difference in a Violin and a Fiddle is the accent of the person playing it.

As far as the violin/fiddle difference, it is all about style of play, and regional diction. What I would like to know about this is, where did the term "fiddle" come into existence? I'm sure it has something to do with country and bluegrass music.

@catlover-fp5ig

As a violinist, I can tell you that the instrument itself is the same, and the only difference is the style and type of music played. Classical violin also tends to be very strict, with not much room for experimentation, with players instead focusing mainly on intonation and tone, and perfecting the playing of their piece. Fiddlers, on the other hand, tend to be very experimental, adding in slurs, double stops, pizzicato, and anything else that they like. Their emphasis tends to be more on adding originality to the songs they play. Fiddlers also tend to play mainly in the first position, and don't tend to use much (if any) vibrato, while classical violinists play all over the fingerboard and use a lot of vibrato. Hope I helped! :)

The 1892 article renewed my confidence that Manhattan Clam Chowder and the Bloody Mary may share antecedents, provided cooks enjoy a drink now and then.

IMHO, I suppose if I had to settle this myself, I'd have to give the trophy to Petiot by a nose. It seems like vodka and tomato juice may have already been a thing, but he made an effort to make it a THING, as any good bartender would. I don't really care if it was called a Red Snapper first. Just like a draw goes to the dealer, so would I have to say this tie goes to the bartender. Another great video, TIFO! You always give us so much more than "trivia."

🎅 HAPPY CHRISTMAS & THANKS FOR THE 🍸COCKTAIL RECIPE,🎄.

In Canada we still have the oysters and have the Worcestershire sauce and call it a Ceasar - one of my favorites.

All the food related episodes of Today I found out make me really hungry/thirsty for whatever food is being discussed ^__^

Back in the 70's it was legal for 18 year old's to drink 3.2 beer in South Dakota. The small town of Lemmon South Dakota sat on the border of North and South Dakota, in fact part of the town was indeed in the State of North Dakota, however that was indeed the "wrong side of the tracks" with the Northern Pacific Railroad running basically down the State Line, this made the town a gathering point for all those teens from the North who wanted the pleasure of going to a bar and enjoying the scene before reaching the 21 year age of drinking in North Dakota. The most popular 3.2 bar in town was the Kokomo Inn, notorious for being the chosen drinking establishment of the hippie type who loved their pot as well as their beer. In that bar, they prepared a drink called the bloody Marry-Ann. It was simply beer with tomato juice, and I believe the name came from the popularity of Gilligan's Island on television at the time. At any rate, I used to really enjoy that drink worth a try if you want a treat. You will have to work out the mixture yourself, as I just drank the stuff and never really mixed it myself. My eldest sister did, but alas she is no longer with use, having passed on last month.

A true Tour de Force on this one Simon. Probably inspired by the due diligence required sampling all of the drink variations.

The way you said the scotsman's name it sounded like it was recorded after the fact

So next time I have one I will say. Give me a RED SNAPPER with Vodka and hold the Mary.

Had a "Tokyo Mary" as the restaurant dubbed it...replace the vodka with saké. Or as I've also tried...replace 1/3 of the saké with vodka. Quite an interesting drink.

Sick LOL at the Bloody Marys being served with crisply bacon at 3:58 considering the number of people burned at the stake during her reign

lol! Did you find my freshman research paper? I wrote this essay years ago! My research would have been so much easier if I had this video that puts all the stuff I had to go find, in one place. However, I did include the urban legend of Bloody Marry (the one where you say her name three times in the bathroom with the lights off and she appears in the mirror) as a possible source for the name.

Side note : In the U.K. the American version of this drink was never called a "Bloody Mary" or a "Red Snapper". It was referred to as "A tall glass of gravy with a hair in it".

Hello, I have recently subscribed to your channel and I am very interested in purchasing the hoodie you wore in this video. How do I go about ordering one, if any or still available?

Slight correction on the graphics : Harry's NY Bar bartenders *ALWAYS* (to this day) wear white coats with their name embroidered with green stiches on the left while the manager always wears a dark suit with a dark tie and a white shirt. The bartending team was until recent time an all male affair, but I think it changed recently (haven't visited the joint in 4 years).

I had a fantastic Bloody Mary whilst I watched the video.. I learnt I was putting too much blood and not enough Mary in to my mix.. Rectified that with immediate satisfaction.. Thank you Simon.. You're blood's worn bottling..

This drink is similar to the Caesar Salad, in that most people believe that it is named after a well-known historical figure, although in reality, it isn't.

Ground pepper corn. Lots of Tabasco sauce. No celery? Then a few shakes of some celery salt. It has to be Polish vodka made from potatoes, not grain. I've also used V-8.

Because of Bloody Mary’s reign I’m completely convinced she went to Hell, her father too. Pretty neat origin story.

Rogers and Hammerstein's Bloody Mary, according to author James Michener, was based on a Tonkinese labor negotiator during World War II. Whatever happened to her after the war ended?

Ok, but at no point did any of the recipes call for celery to garnish... so who started that?

Third turn... A saloon in Montana or Colorado, don't remember, called the 'Bucket of Blood,' proximate to a brothel owned by a woman named Mary named the drink after her back in prohibition days. I was there once. Anyway... you mix them up in a pitcher and pour them over ice. I prefer them with V8 Juice. This method allows one to adjust to taste. Crystal hot sauce works well.

Whilst it's not entirely known what Edward VI died of the leading theory is an acute case of broncopneumonia which developed out of a chest infection

lol, I like that little audio insert at 3:08 Listen closely.

Jane Gray was declared his heir by Edward VI (cause of death is actually unknown but TB is a reasonable candidate). He wrote the edict of succession in his own hand. "Queen" Jane met a bad end. Mary I's cause of death may well have been a brain tumor. But, as you indicated, ovarian and uterine cancers are candidates, too.

I'd like to see a video on Worcestershire sauce.

Wow! Who'd have thought you could go into so much detail on a topic like this? BTW, I believe the name Beebe is pronounced with two syllables: Bee-bee/ Certainly that was the case with the naturalist William Beebe, who invented, or at least developed, the bathysphere. There's a line in a song by Stephen Sondheim: ". . . had the heebee-jeebees / for Colonel Beebe's / bathysphere." ("I'm Still Here," from _Follies_).

3:07 When you voice crack but fix everything in the edit :D

That 1892 recipe seems especially close to the Canadian caesar variant.

Offhand I forgot the name of the book that is considered authoritative about the mixes. Anyone know?

a video about balding and any remedies?

I know too many Marys I might ended up Marrying one Puns puns

When I was in the service we couldn't afford the good stuff so we mixed vodka with tomato juice, orange juice pineapple juice, grape fruit juice, etc I more inclined to think the name came from service guy who were always good coming up with inventive names. Some people mixed cheap wine with cool aid and called it "Apple Andy "

And for a bonus fact, check out the apocryphal story of how Worcestershire sauce got its name. Hint: "What's this here sauce?"

The theme to A Clockwork Orange

That recipe mentions salt twice. I guess he likes it salty.

Jessel's story seems rather implausible, the way he recounts events unfolding are kind of unnatural.

Bloodies with clams/ oysters are amazing

Actually, I've heard of several variations of a bloody mary. A southwestern bloody mary has additional tabasco in it (about 8-12 drops,) a northeastern bloody mary has more worcheshire sauce (about 1 teaspoon or more,) an asian bloody mary has more lemon juice (juice of one whole lemon,) and there are more.

being stupid is what most people historically have done, always and forever; intellect requires time and effort. Atypical.

Sort of funny video, with all of the "fuzzy" history presented in it. "Bloody Mary" drinks is a name I`ve long known about, but there`s also been " *Bloody Caesar* ", which a Web search shows that some people use for name, while Wikipedia`s page doesn`t and just calls it Caesar cocktail. Wikipedia recognizes the search using "bloody caesar" but redirects to the page for "Caesar (cocktail)", which says that a Bloody Caesar/Caesar cocktail is like a Bloody Mary, except that it`s with the inclusion of clam broth, which definitely seems (to me) like a more appealing drink than one containing Worcestershire sauce. Another way I`ve found some people doing in Quebec, Canada, is to just mix tomato juice with beer, I think usually a pale sort of ale, maybe even lager, rather than a dark beer; and, I prefer using something like V-8 juice, rather than tomato juice for the greater number of vitamins, but if there`s no V-8 while there is tomato juice, then I`ll use that, or no juice at all. Also, adding celery seeds (yummy!) would "make my day". Clam brother, though, sounds appealing; just not Worcestershire sauce. Just listened to one of your videos about the latter stuff quite recently and I'll do as I've normally always done with this sauce, which is to refrain. Tomato or V-8 juice, celery seeds, some hot pepper stuff (Tabasco, cayenne pepper, f.e.), maybe some black pepper (better yet, same sort of pepper, but with the dried fruits being black, green, red, ..., a tasty multi-coloured mix), maybe some sea salt (real kind), a celery stalk or stem, or two, (always a tasty munch), and then whatever you want to use for alcohol; seems like an ok mix to me. Oh, and I'd definitely try it with clam broth mixed in as well. The clam broth wouldn't be necessary, but I'd try it for sure. As for alcohol, I guess pretty much any clear kind could do, besides beer, and for clear kinds, well, maybe Vodka as usual, just that possibly clear/white rum (if it exists) and gin could also do just as well. I think to have mostly seen dark/brown rums, but if recalling correctly, then I once had a young Jamaican woman who returned to the country for a short vacation and offered to bring some rum back for co-workers. I'm sure to recall to my choice was clear rum. (This is Canada and it was evidently legal for her to do this favour for us; and, she clearly didn't try to do it for profit, for it was only 5 CAD (not USD) per bottle.) All of these liquors should work well for making Bloody Maries and Caesars.

I have a question for TIFO why do Us look like Vs in old paintings and engravings.

So at the end of the day someone who really drunk came up with it and forgot the details in the haze of a hangover.

It wasn't a plot. Edward, on his death bead, ruled Jane Grey should be his successor. It was legitimately by royal decree - not a plot that Jane become queen. In fact, she was queen, but Mary Tudor organized a (popular at the time) coup and the rest is history.
