1. Bloody Mary

Known as the most popular brunch cocktail worldwide, the Bloody Mary holds its birthplace in New York City’s St. Regis hotel bar, the King Cole. Introduced to this hotel’s audience in 1934 by bartender Fernand Petriot, this drink is marked by its simple ingredients, yet high flavor profile. Vodka, tomato juice, and lemon juice form the base, which is spiced up with salt, pepper, Tabasco sauce and oftentimes garnished with celery. Without a doubt, the Bloody Mary is the most popular cocktail – as well as the best hangover cure – around.
