Very nice film, clean clear and concise. But this drink is not complete without a small dash of Fino Sherry. Totall alters and enhances the whole thing, brings it to life.
RE the nomencature. On a minor pedantic note though, the Bloody Mary (simple vodka and Tomato Juice) was created and named by George Jessel and refined with the added spices that we know today by Fernand Petiot around 1939.
Queen Mary 1 was indeed referred to as Bloody Mary due to the high number of beheadings under her reign (1553-58) but seeing as tomato cultivation did not start in the UK until the 1590's this would appear to be totally untrue.

This drink should be rolled, not shaken.
