The Algonquin Bloody Mary honors New York’s legendary Algonquin Hotel — home of the famous literary Round Table of the 1920s, where Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, and Harold Ross traded bon mots over cocktails. This version amps up the heat with generous Tabasco alongside the standard vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire, and lime. The Bloody Mary itself was popularized in America at the King Cole Bar in the St. Regis Hotel, but naming this one after the Algonquin places it squarely in that same era of New York cocktail mythology.
