The Red Snapper

A Red Snapper cocktail is typically considered a Bloody Mary made with Gin. Originally it was just another name for a Bloody Mary but at some point the distinction between Vodka & Gin was made.

Recipe

Red Snapper

  • 4 oz Tomato Juice
  • 1½ oz Gin
  • ¼ oz Lemon Juice
  • Celery Bitters
  • Hot Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Old Bay to taste

Execution

Combine all ingredients in shaker. Add ice and shake until cold. Serve in a Collins or Pint glass over ice with an Old Bay rim.

A Bitter Breeze

The Bitter Breeze is an original cocktail designed to be a bitter digestif with a kick. It is rich, herbal and bitter, with a velvet-y sweetness underneath. I, personally, opt for stirring the cocktail but it could also be assembled like an old-fashioned in the glass.
