Product Description

Among those who once drank and argued in Harry's were Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, George Gershwin, Jack Dempsey, Sinclair Lewis, Knute Rockne, Thornton Wilder, Humphrey Bogart, Jack Dempsey, Primo Carnera, Ramon Novarro, Aly Khan, Rita Hayworth and Marlene Dietrich. Harry's New York Bar was a magnet for Americans who traveled to Paris for a respite from Prohibition, and where the Bloody Mary was invented in 1921 by bartender Fernand "Pete" Petiot as an "eye opener." Whether Petiot's original mixture of the juice of half a lemon, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, vodka, and tomato juice has curative powers depends on the opinion of the overimbiber. What is beyond question is that the feeling of the glass in your hand, its weight and shape, is part of the experience of enjoying the drink. Use this glass if you're making something heavy on the ice cubes, since it'll still leave plenty of room for the drink itself. Harry's serves the Bloody Mary over ice in this handsome 15-ounce tumbler with a trademark "bubble" floating at the bottom of the glass. Offered in a Gift Box Set of 2 with the official "Rules of the I.B.F." (International Bar Flies), the bar's humorously titled club of serious drinkers.
