History

There are many versions of the origin of the cocktail, but the most popular one is the English princess Mary Tudor, who lived a gloomy and eventful life. She ruthlessly executed Protestants, adored the color red, and was madly in love with her husband. Another legend is much simpler, it takes us into the walls of a Parisian bar. In 1921, a smart bartender simply mixed the ingredients and offered the invention to the guests.

Over the years, the recipe has changed a little: lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, oyster juice were added to the cocktail.
