Origin of the Bloody Mary garnish war
The Bloody Mary garnish war started in 2015 and it was driven by a simple goal: craft the most outrageously topped Bloody Mary using only food, food-flavored alcohol, and toothpicks, though its winners and losers were never clear-cut.
While some argued that customers gained the most, others believed they were burdened by the over-the-top garnishes — “they have to eat and drink the thing!”
With time revealing the true outcome, the war has now concluded, symbolized by the white flag of surrender, and the industry is entering a phase of recovery and reflection. This includes cleaning up menus, social media, and conversations with patrons, ultimately signaling a return to simplicity and tradition—bringing the celery back into the glass and restoring balance to Bloody Mary, be it a virgin or not.
