Fly to Dallas

  We took the American Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale , FL to Dallas , TX - It was a pleasant trip that we enjoyed with a few Bloody Marys . The Bloody Mary is one of the most iconic and enduring cocktails in the world—equal parts brunch staple, hangover remedy, and culinary experiment in a glass.  The origin story is a bit muddled, but here are the main contenders: Fernand Petiot , a bartender at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, claimed to invent it in the 1920s, originally calling it a “Bucket of Blood” . George Jessel , an American entertainer, is also credited with popularizing the vodka-tomato combo in the 1930s, though Petiot disputed his claim. The name “Bloody Mary” may refer to Queen Mary I of England , known for her bloody reign, or it could be a nod to a waitress named Mary from a Chicago bar.
