When the US embraced Prohibition, the country's drinking culture radically changed. Speakeasies popped up, illegal alcohol smuggling routes were established, and new drinks exploded in popularity. Among them: The Tomato Cocktail, a hangover cure described in one recipe from the 1929 cookbook "Here's How Again! " as "a very simple concoction" that was "guaranteed to pick you up no matter how low you have fallen." This (admittedly dramatic-sounding) drink is the progenitor of the Bloody Mary we know today.
