History
The Red Snapper cocktail is a variant of the famous Bloody Mary, the gin here replaces the initial vodka.
Fernand Petiot, believed to be the creator of the Bloody Mary, was reportedly forced to replace vodka with gin in his creation and call his cocktail the "Red Snapper" upon arriving at King Cole Bar in New York City amid the 1930s.
