        Could the Pony thing possibly have something to do with the fact that a Redeye is beer and tomato juice?

          @Jett129 According to to a blog I found, it's sometimes called a "snit" and here's its origin (allegedly):

          "In the 1950s vodka was scarce in the US mostly due to some shenanigans in Russia. Because of this, a relatively new drink, the Bloody Mary, was missing a main ingredient. Minnesotans, long known for their heartiness, gumption, and fondness for plaid, did not take well to the idea of not enjoying a bloody mary before going out to cut massive ice cubes out of the lakes. Creatively, they began making bloody marys with beer, something that was not experiencing a supply problem. Likely they used Hamm’s or Grain Belt or other locally available beers.

          But here’s the thing. The cans were typically 10 or 12 oz. of beer. To ensure ideal deliciousness of your bloody mary, you don’t want the entire beer in your drink. Minnesotans are also, let’s say “thrifty”. They wouldn’t want the extra beer just tossed out or wasted somehow. So the bartender would empty the rest of the beer can into a lowball or large shot glass and serve it to you with your bloody mary. The snit is born."

                      @Jett129 I've always wondered, and true or not, at least now I've heard one possible origin.

                                    @seawolf well this was certainly worth the experiment! It definitely falls somewhere on the Negroni-Boulevardier axis, but has its own unique character.

                                        @seawolf I’ve tried two versions - first equal parts, second upped the gin to 1.25 plus added 2 drops of Bob’s chocolate bitters - not sure which I prefer so might need more experimenting on another day.
