I\u2019m not sure if Blake Shelton was serious when he requested a Bloody Mary emoji or not, but if he was, he\u2019s in luck. Because I found one.<\/p>\n

First, some background.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 2, Shelton had posted a picture of a very extra Bloody Mary \u2014 with olives, peppers and what appears to be chicken tenders \u2014 saying that he couldn\u2019t properly celebrate National Bloody Mary Day without an emoji.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Shelton asked Smithworks Vodka for their help, and the Arkansas vodka maker replied, \u201cWe got you!\u201d But the only suitable emoji they could come up with in their posts on NBMD was a plain old tomato.<\/p>\n

\n

We got you! Not only are Bloody Mary\u2019s the only reason worth getting out of bed on Sunday morning, but they are the ultimate hangover cure and one of the best-selling cocktails in the world. Need we say more? @unicode<\/a> #NationalBloodyMaryDay<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Ls6rNlZghi<\/a><\/p>\n

If a vodka company couldn\u2019t find a vodka-based Bloody Mary emoji, I wondered, could I? My curiosity was piqued, so I looked all over the internet and found this one. So cheers, Blake Shelton. Cut and paste before the next National Bloody Mary Day comes around in 2020.<\/p>\n
