But Mr. Bartels' thesis on the subject demands the immediate attention of all aficionados of this beloved classic. It is an eye-opener. <b>--DALE DEGROFF, author of <i>The Essential Cocktail</i></b> No, the Bloody Mary isn't named after the Virgin Mary, who was sad about Jesus and needed a drink. That's what I thought when my brother and I made Bloody Marys for my parents, a Playmate cooler between us, in the backseat of the car, on our way to New Orleans . . . Thank you, Brian, for setting the record straight! <b>--PARKER POSEY, actress I would never trust a Bloody Mary from someone who didn't hail from the great state of Wisconsin, and Brian Bartels is the hero we've been waiting for. I'll gladly take the advice found within these pages. <b>--JEFFREY MORGENTHALER, author of <i>The Bar Book</b> Brian has more than twenty years' experience behind the bar. The Bloody Mary is his insightful, light-hearted debut: it's filled with dozens of delicious riffs on the classic, plus Brian's trademark wit and charm. <b>-- JIM MEEHAN, author of <i>The PDT Cocktail Book </i>and <i>Meehan's Bartender Manual</i></b>
