Fernand Petiot (born in Paris, 18 February 1900 – died in Canton, Ohio 6 January 1975) was a bartender who claimed to have created the Bloody Mary, a popular cocktail drink. ==Biography== Petiot claimed that he invented the drink in the early 1920s while working at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, France, a frequent hangout for Ernest Hemingway and other American expatriates. (Petiot set a record in a beer-drinking contest at Harry's New York Bar on June 15, 1925, when he drank a two-liter glass of beer in 46.5 seconds.) Petiot moved to the United States in 1925 and, after a sojourn in Canton, Ohio (where he met his wife), he became head bartender at New York City's St. Regis Hotel in 1934. One of Petiot's most famous regular customers was gangster Frank Costello. Petiot worked at the St. Regis as one of New York's most popular bartenders until his retirement in 1966. At that time he returned to Canton, Ohio, where he bartended occasionally at Mergus Restaurant. Petiot claimed to have served drinks to every U.S. President from 1934 to 1972 except for Lyndon B. Johnson. He died in Canton in early January 1975 at age 74. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fernand Petiot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
