Classic Bloody Mary Recipe

Description:
Anybody who has watched the hit television program Cheers knows that the bar (Bull 'n' Finch in real life) claims the best Bloody Mary in Boston. In fact, it's the house drink and has been served without alteration for twenty-seven years. Senior barman Eddie Doyle "slipped" in revealing that one of the pub's secret ingredients in its award-winning Bloody Mary mix is a touch of clam juice. His special mix is now bottled and sold at Boston's fancy-food stores.
