Drink a Bucket of Blood for Halloween

     Prior to walking your children from door to door threatening strangers and neighbors alike with the admonition - "TRICK OR TREAT," give yourself a treat at your next Happy Hour. Order a Bucket of Blood, but quickly inform the bartender that you really mean a Bloody Mary (lest he commit some horrible atrocity in the name of service). The Bloody Mary originated (though there is some debate) at Harry's New York Bar in the 1920s by Fernand "Pete" Petoit.       The name Bucket of Blood possible came from Chicago's infamous saloon by the same name.  Likewise, "Mary" might honor a waitress who worked there...but who knows?
     Be creative this Halloween, and serve this spicy drink with fake eyeballs, or any other prosthetic body part.
