Fernand ‘Pete’ Petiot, a native to the hospitality industry and a bartender who was originally from France, claimed to have invented the Bloody Mary in 1921 when he was working at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. This was a place that was popular with Ernest Hemingway, Rita Hayworth, Humphry Bogart and other famous American expatriates at the time, and it was owned by a former American jockey, Ted Sloan, for many years.
