Where to find the tastiest, tangiest and most inventive Bloody Marys in Shanghai:

For a super-spicy Bloody Mary: The Shanghai D' @ St. Regis Hotel's Mezzanine Lounge

This concoction takes inspiration from Chinese cuisine, adding Sichuan peppercorns and soy sauce to the mix. It's a tongue-numbing treat.

Downstairs has several variations on the Bloody Mary, but the classic is, well, a classic. It comes in a glass with a salt-encrusted rim, garnished with a sprig of rosemary and two baby carrots.
