History

Mr & Mrs T Bloody Mary mix was first sold by Herb and June Taylor in 1960. They had been in the sauce business and developed their mix to create consistent cocktails.[1] It first was used by bars and restaurants in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and gained wider popularity after it became the choice of American Airlines[2] after it was tasted by an airline executive. Other airlines began using Mr & Mrs T as well.[1]

Taylor Food Products was sold in 1965[1] and the brand was acquired by Mott's division of Cadbury-Schweppes plc in 1987.[2] By 1997, Mr & Mrs T controlled 62 percent of the Bloody Mary Mix market.[1]
