The obvious story around the origins of the Bloody Mary name comes from the nickname given to Queen Mary 1/Mary Tudor who had a penchant for burning religious dissidents at the stake. This cocktail is quite the opposite, reviving those who might wake up with a killer hangover. The beetroot adds a lovely earthy depth and freshness and is a great antioxidant.
