Mary I acquired the epithet during the reign of her successor Elizabeth on account of the perceived ferocity of her religious persecutions.

 Bloody Mary (cocktail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Bloody Mary is a cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and usually other spices or flavorings such as Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, beef consomme or bouillon, horseradish, celery or celery salt, salt, fl pepper, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice.
The epithet "Bloody Mary" is associated with a number of historical and fictional women, most notably Queen Mary I of England (see Bloody Mary (person) for others); however, there is no known connection between the name of the cocktail and any of these people.
When beer is used instead of vodka and Clamato (a juice made of clam broth and tomato juice) mixed with a raw egg is used in place of the tomato juice, it is known as a Calgary Red Eye, a popular Canadian hangover remedy.

 An interview with Bloody Mary zine
What our Bloody Mary collective does beside the zine are concerts (for raising money and promoting grrrl bands) and feminist parties, we make t-shirts, badges and pathes with feminist motives, sometimes participate in organizing demos (usually anarchist) - but that´s not very often.
After that they realized it would be a good name for their zine as it has lots of meaning: Bloody Mary is beside the red drink also nickname of english queen Mary I. And it is also innuendo on woman´s period.
For me personally it means that i can came across lots of information about various topics, women etc. when i look for data for my articles- so, making the zine is a sort of studying.
