"Harry’s Bar in Paris is celebrating the 100th birthday of the Bloody Mary, the vodka-tomato juice cocktail believed to have been invented at this iconic watering hole in 1921. The bar is known for its historical patrons, including writers Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and continues to attract visitors from around the world. The centenary events are marked by careful COVID-19 health protocols, ensuring safety while patrons enjoy the classic cocktail. The history of Harry’s Bar is rich, with the cocktail being first published in a book called Harry’s ABC of Cocktails in 1921." - Alex Turnbull, Associated Press (AP)
