📜 History

The Red Snapper is a gin-based variation of the Bloody Mary, created when Fernand Petiot brought his tomato cocktail from Paris to the St. Regis Hotel in New York in 1934. With vodka scarce in America at the time, gin was substituted, and the refined Astor family renamed it 'Red Snapper' finding 'Bloody Mary' too vulgar for their clientele.
