Just before Christmas, I found myself in the company of Neil and Christine Hamilton, a couple of MasterChef critics and a tanned gentleman who apparently sits in judgment on Strictly Come Dancing, in a beautiful art-deco bar just off Piccadilly in London. We were watching 10 thrusting young bartenders vying with each other to make the best bloody mary, in a competition sponsored by the Louisiana hot sauce giant Tabasco.
I couldn't help thinking such a noble drink deserved a little more in the way of celebrity fanfare, but as Tuesday afternoons go, it was a pleasingly surreal one. There were two rounds: one in which the competitors made a traditional bloody mary, and a second where they were allowed a freer rein to muck about with foams and smoke and the like, all of which left me more in love with the classic drink than ever. Garlic-infused vodka, which featured in the winning alternative recipe, may be clever, but it would certainly rank very high in a list of bad ideas for the morning after the night before, which is, along with the airbourne aperitif, surely the moment a bloody mary was made for.
