Red Snapper

The Red Snapper is essentially a Bloody Mary built on gin rather than vodka, a variation that traces back to 1930s Paris when bartenders at the St. Regis Hotel sought a more refined take on the tomato-based classic. The botanical character of gin cuts through the savory tomato base with greater precision, while chili heat and Worcestershire bring depth and umami. It drinks bright, peppery, and clean—a brunch staple with sharper edges.
